A review by nica00
Sea Monsters by Chloe Aridjis

4.0

I loved the impactful bits of philosophical observations shared by the teenage protagonist. The adolescent thought process felt authentic to the time & setting...also liked how her naive and ideal focused perspective twisted into disenchanted realizations about those in her world. And the atmosphere was vivid & well set.
What I didn’t like were the rambling bits. It felt like the author took the quiet pace (that worked at first) too far at times & I found myself skimming the pages after the climax during “father’s tedious lecture”.
I will try books from this author again.
