The Rebellious Tide by Eddy Boudel Tan
5.0
TW: assault, sexual harassment, violence, human trafficking, homophobia, hate crime
The Rebellious Tide is one of my favorite LGBTQ+ novels of 2021. It was emotional and deeply heartbreaking. A young man named Sebastian Goh going in search of his absent father after the loss of his mother. Sebastian works as a photographer on a luxury liner to find his father, uncovering disturbing secrets hidden behind luxury and money. The mystery and backstory of his parents kept me reading. Sebastian questioning his own identity and himself after an public assault on board triggers the crew's outrage and joining a revolt against the ruling class of officers.
