Summer of Salt by Katrina Leno
5.0
🌊
"I think a person can be a home, sometimes, just as much as a place or a house can."
"Summer of Salt" by Katrina Leno ended up being a 5 star read for me, which I did not expect. I thought it would be a light summer read, and while it definitely worked as a summer read, it also dealt with some tougher topics.
I absolutely loved all the characters and the uniqueness of the island that they live on. The overarching mystery kept me invested throughout the book and I absolutely loved the fantasy elements woven into the story. There's also a very sweet sapphic romance, which made me swoon.
So yeah, I highly recommend this book, especially if you enjoy magical realism, sapphic romance, and interesting characters. I know this book is gonna stick with me for a long time.
