A review by sayitcharlie
Raw Blue by Kirsty Eagar
5.0
I feel ordinary whilst reading the first half but unexpectedly had my gut punched when I reached the moment of truth for Carly.
Carly's character is realistic. Her flaws are something that will make you love her more. She's not just blue for me but a burst of colors.
Among other characters, Danny struck me the most. Given his young age, he seems eccentric and has an old soul. I love the way he sees things and analyses them.
I can't help but partly blame Carly's parents. I think their relationship towards each other was a factor why she felt repulsed to what happened and added to the trauma.
What I love about Ryan is that he doesn't push things, trying to make everything okay. He's just making his presence known to Carly and letting her know that she's got him if she needs him. It's very honest and unmasked.
I love how the author gave the readers a vivid picture of how things are happening especially the sceneries and the surfing part. I love the emphasis on surfing as the most important thin in Carly's life. It made me understand how surfers value surfing. It's exhilarating. I love the way she wrote about healing. It's painful and realistic. She was able to tap my emotions and let me feel the stirrings of the characters.
It's a powerful, gut-punching book that makes you realise things by the time you've finished reading it.
