A Sea of Unspoken Things
by Adrienne Young
I love Adrienne Young. Her writing style is fluid and immersive and I’ve loved every one of her books so far. This one was great, until I got caught up on one detail. And no one else seems to be talking about it.
***spoilers***
Why didn’t Autumn’s mom report her missing???? She is supposedly gone away to college—her first time leaving the little town—and her mother isn’t worried that she hasn’t spoken to her in four months??!! This would have been an easy fix in the story. Make Autumn an orphan, or have her mom be out of her life for whatever reason. But nope. They supposedly ask her mom when was the last time she was seen, and it was the party the day before she went missing. So mom didn’t call to make sure she arrived okay? Didn’t text or call to make sure she liked her classes, her roommates, and find out if she needed anything? I just cannot believe it. If I missed something, someone please point it out to me.
