The Rebellious Tide by Eddy Boudel Tan
4.0
THE REBELLIOUS TIDE by Eddy Boudel Tan is an engrossing novel! This was one of my most anticipated books this year as Eddy’s debut novel, After Elias, was my fave fiction read last year and this is another great book! I found myself completely absorbed into this story and finished the book in two days. It’s about Sebastian, who goes to work on a luxury liner to meet his father that he’s never met before and while aboard he encounters a disturbing secret.
.
I loved the characterization of Sebastian as he’s half Singaporean half Greek, queer and the intense pull he had to discover his heritage. I am mixed race so I love to see it represented in literature. The setting of the sea was stunning as we travel along the Mediterranean. I also loved the initial setting in Quebec as I’m Canadian. The mystery element really propelled me to keep reading. Definitely pick up this novel if you want to go on an adventure!

Thank you so much to the author for my gifted copy!
