A Sweet Sting of Salt by Rose Sutherland
4.0
emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Want do we want? Wives! Ideally ones with mysterious pasts and gorgeous eyes deep enough to drown in!
When do we want them? Right now! We just need to get the entitled controlling and increasingly violent man out of the picture so we can be free and reckless together! Will absolutely resort to violence to do so! 

A tender and tense reimagining of the selkie wife myth - it scooped me up in its rolling ebb and flow of character dynamics and drinkable prose, tightly paced plot while surrendering to the drifting nature of a romance told in a small village by the sea. Claustrophobic and lovely, all at once
