At Sea by Emma Fedor
3.0
At Sea is a dual timeline/mystery/supernatural/romance about Cara and Brendon on Martha's Vineyard. In 2008 Cara, a new college graduate, is spending the summer on the Vineyard with her aunt and uncle while she figures out the next step in her life. She meets Brendan, and they quickly form a romantic relationship over the summer. Brendon reveals to Cara that he is in the special forces, and he can breathe underwater. In 2014 Cara is married to Graham, and searching for her son Micah, who Brendan disappeared with shortly after the boy was born.
I really wanted to love this book, and while I did like the writing, the plot and the story as a whole, I found I didn't really care for Cara at all, especially in the 2008 chapters. She came off as immature and gullible which may have been intentional given her age, but she read more as a YA character than an adult at times.
I felt the story as a whole wrapped up well. The mystery and supernatural elements explained and thought out well and I did feel satisfied with the ending. Overall, I did like the book, I just wish I liked the main character more.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of At Sea in exchange for my honest opinion.
