The House in the Cerulean Sea was an absolutely endearing read. This was my first experience with TJ Klune's work, and I was immediately drawn in by their warm, immersive writing style that brought each character to life. The story is filled with heart and charm, creating a gentle, comforting atmosphere that’s perfect for anyone looking for a slower, cozier read.

Every character was beautifully crafted, but Chauncey completely stole my heart—his dream of becoming a bellhop is just too adorable! Klune’s ability to balance whimsy with deeper emotional themes made this book both touching and memorable. I highly recommend it to readers who enjoy character-driven stories with a lot of soul.
