The House in the Cerulean Sea

To be quite honest with you, I didn't even think I was going to like this. This is marketed as such a cozy story, and usually I find that those types of stories try too hard and it tends to be overly cheesy and fake and it just makes me roll my eyes.

HOWEVER. Even if The House in the Cerulean Sea has its fair share of cheesy moments, I loved the hell out of it. I loved these characters and I loved the growth between them all very much. The way it was written was also extremely enjoyable to read, and I never wanted to gloss over longer descriptions. I really wanted to take it all in.

Favorite of this year so far? Yes, yes. Very much so.
