Book Review: The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune

Heartwarming.

If you want a book that will leave you smiling, that will give your hope back to humanity, well this is the book for you. It’s got great character arcs which is one of its strengths. I enjoyed the main character’s journey from living a mundane life to one full of colour. Even the kids in the stories also evolve at the end of the book. Klune has done a fantastic job creating a very well-thought-out novel.

He has also written probably the sweetest, romantic scene I’ve ever read. If I have to describe it in one word, it would be magical.

Themes of acceptance, family, and the fight against prejudice are explored in this novel. In this pandemic era and the plight for social justice, The House in the Cerulean Sea is the book we need right now.

4/5
