hmartia 's review for:

A Very Large Expanse of Sea by Tahereh Mafi
4.0

I love this book! I think it's content is super important to read, and along with it comes a fantastic romance plot too. I haven't read Shatter Me but I imagine it's different, and I can't lie I read this book super quickly. I came to love all the characters and even when it wasn't going so well for the relationship I was rooting for it so much!

One thing I must say is that the ending felt really rushed, and it didn't ruin it, I just thought it could've had more actual scenes in the ending, so that it didn't just finish. Literally, she dropped a sentence and I was like 'oh yeah well I guess that whole book just ends now' with no contemplation or conversation or that jazz.

Still enjoyed the book nonetheless. In three words: interesting, important and romantic.
