The Girl from the Sea

A wonderful book with a myriad of great messages from coming-of-age themes to environmental activism and LGBTQ+ rep. The art style is beautiful, and my gosh I connected to the main character (her coming-of-age and gay experiences mirrored mine almost exactly!). Ostertag blew me away with this one from the writing to the art to the characters, and I swooned over the whole style and message of this book for hours after I read it. This is the type of book that'll connect to younger readers (the mc is 15, I believe), those my age (20s) and those even older. Truly beautiful read.
