A Very Large Expanse of Sea

3.5/5 stars

Urghh this is a hard book to rate. I loved almost everything about this book, especially the main character. I loved her relationship with her brother. I loved how she cared about herself and the people around her. I also loved how personal this book fel. I can tell writing this probably meant soooo much for Tahereh and that is incredibly special.

But I'm starting to think Tahereh Mafi's writing isn't for me. I didn't love her writing style in Shatter Me and I didn't love it here. I found the romance to be rushed and instalovely. The dialouge to be stiff and repetitive.
