A Sea of Unspoken Things by Adrienne Young
4.0

Adrienne Young is an auto-buy for me. So when I found out she had a new book coming I jumped at the chance to read it. I was not at all disappointed.

A Sea of Unspoken Things is a bit of a thriller, a coming home story, and a light romance as well (no steamy scenes, all closed door). The characters feel like real human beings and the drama that plays out is natural, conversations flowed and made sense.

I deducted one star because the story dragged at times, and I was not a fan of the ending (but maybe YOU might be!).

James, Johnny, and Micah pop off the page. This was a really good book about the choices people make, their consequences, family and found family, and what "home" really means.

TW: allusions to power imbalance SA, SA, talk of suicide, pregnancy, death.

Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to review this novel.
