A review by aldoregan
The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay

4.0

Contemporary is the genre I often stay away from because I don’t enjoy them most of the time. I find it more difficult to connect with the characters and to immerse myself in the story. It’s so hard to find a contemporary novel that’s genuinely a memorable reading experience for me. A Sea of Tranquility started no different. I initially thought it was going to be one of those books. But as I read along, I found myself connecting to the story and to the characters. Once my interests peaked, I couldn’t stop reading and reading until I eventually finished it in a heartbeat. I can’t say that it’s the best, however it is better compared to most YA contemporaries I’ve read in the past. It’s quite disappointing that this isn’t as famous or as hyped up as it’s supposed to be.
