I loved this book! It was so much fun to read! I loved the kids! They were so sweet and kind even though they had reason to hate everyone. The passion Authur and Mr. Baker showed when it came to the wellbeing of the children were inspiring.

This book was a page-turner, could not put it down once I started reading. The characters get at your heart and never leave. You grow fonder of them as Linus does. It's incredibly saccharine, I loved every bit of it.

Wow. Just wow. I don't have the words to explain how much I love this book. I relate so much to Linus Baker's struggle with living the comfortable mundane and entering the wonderful unknown. And any book that can bring me to tears over Lucifer in a 6-year-old's body deserves high praise. The House in the Cerulean Sea really does feel like a big gay blanket. Queerness does hold a lot of tragedy and darkness, but any book that can speak to the inherent joy and found family that develops in queer spaces deserves to be read by anyone.

I've just come off a Riordan reading spree, and this book feels like it would be great for 16+ year-olds who love Riordan's books. I'm surprised/pleased that this is a book marketed as Adult Fiction with nothing content-wise that would immediately flag it as Adult. I think the older age of the protagonist - Linus - is what pushes it there but if OFMD is any indication, young people crave the stories of middle-aged queer folk finding love. Cerulean can and should be read by anyone. It's an easy, light read with a strong emotional punch that hits that found family sweet spot.

This whole review has absolutely no direction.

I love this book. That is all.
