nguyenxvy 's review for:
Beyond That, the Sea
by Laura Spence-Ash
I’m feeling very lukewarm about this book. I did not feel attachment to any of the characters besides Nancy. I also think Bea is a terrible person and so is William.
This reminds me of the summer i turned pretty but during world war II. First off, William cheated on his pregnant fiancée with Bea (oh and she knew about her). Then, she meets her and says nothing. Then she gets together with William’s brother. He even asked her if she had a history with William and she LIES. And somehow they’re now happily married with a kid after William died. Oh and is now friends with William’s wife.
I also thought the relationships could have been better portrayed. I know it was supposed to be deep but it didn’t come across as that to me. The relationship Bea had with the Gregorys was not as heartwarming as I thought it would be at all. I mean, Bea went 20 years without speaking to them on the phone again after she went back to London. If this was your “second family,” I just don’t see how.
