Sea of Tranquility

4.7:

Yes, hello. I'd like to add my name to the list of people ready to lay their lives down for Zoey Roberts, please.

It wasn't hard to quit this book the first time I picked it up, once I realized it'd be better to get The Glass Hotel out of the way first, and that was because I wasn't invested. There was the Edwin storyline, and frankly it put me off, I don't think we needed all of that. Not that it was bad, but after finishing the book and realizing how amazing it ended up being, I wish Emily had elaborated more on Gaspary's POV instead. The beginning is, for me, what keeps it from being a solid 5 star book.

Now then, Sci-fi is not what I usually gravitate towards, but holy shit, that was intense and I did NOT see the twist coming. I loved all the little references to Emily's other works, the details that connected everything. I loved the humanity of the characters, loved how they touched on so much more than just time travel.

Zoey and Gaspary's relationship was so sweet and heartbreaking, and it got my sisters wondering why I was so clingy for, like, a week. Also Gaspary was a hoot, I laughed loudly at his blunt lines so many times.

This was great but also emotionally draining, and so I'm officially on a sad-book-hiatus, and also a pandemic-book-hiatus, until my little heart recovers.
