The Sea Sisters by Lucy Clarke
5.0
Not sure who recommended this book to me but I want to give them a great big kiss and pledge my undying love for them.
I got to the end and all I could think was oh my god, oh my god, oh my god; that was because it was just so oh my f**king god.
Katie and Mia are sisters who love each other fiercely but fight like cat and dog too. Mia the younger sister makes a huge mistake and being impulsive decides to go back pack around the world with her best friend Finn so she does not have to deal with the fall out of what she did.
The story follows Katie as she retraces Mia's steps to unravel what happened on her journey using Mia's journal for reference.
The writing in this book is beautiful. I could almost smell the sea and Jasmine from the perfect words used by Lucy Clarke. Without reading the blurb I got the impression that the sea is a big passion of the author's and when I did read the blurb found I was right.
The sea ebbs and flows through the book, building and crashing just like the story. The plot is woven wonderfully - totally compulsive reading. I needed to get to the conclusion just as much as Katie did.
This is not a smut book. There is sex but not descriptive. The story didn't need it. I fell a bit in love with Mia and Katie and Finn too but I found Noah a bit scary and intense - which is exactly how I should have felt.
To the person who recommended this book, thank you from the bottom of my heart. 5 huge shining stars. A debut novel too! What talent!
