A review by readwithkiekie
A Very Large Expanse of Sea by Tahereh Mafi

4.0

The first time I read this book I believed it was a little bit insta love but after rereading it I’d have to disagree. While the pacing of the book is quick, the story does flow through time pretty quickly making Ocean and Shirin’s relationship appear more insta love.

The writing honestly isn’t my favourite, it’s short and choppy. Tells you what happens rather than showing us, so it keeps you at arms length from forming a proper connection.
