A review by kaydee
The Gulf by Anna Spargo-Ryan

5.0

Voice and character. Anna Spargo-Ryan just gets it. The Gulf is a tender, heartbreaking and sometimes scary story of siblings navigating their way through their mother's poor decisions. Skye is everything I remember about 16 and Ben is the epitome of a 10 year old boy (and I know, I have one).

Despite an emotive and distressing subject matter, the writing is just perfect, never veering into melodrama or sentimentality.

Don't ever stop writing Anna.
