Sea of Strangers by Lang Leav
2.0
2.5 Stars.
Right off the bat, I have to say that my rating is solely dependent on personal enjoyment - I definitely understand people who enjoyed this book a lot more than I did.
However, I found Sea of Strangers pretty... mediocre? I am not sure if that is the correct term, honestly. I could say I am pretty indifferent, just to be a little kinder. In the end, neither term would affect what I feel, so it does not matter too much.
I'd describe Leav's short work as a charming collection, just not my cup of tea. I could not feel any connection to her poems and come to the conclusion that our perspectives on love and life are a little bit too different for me to perhaps enjoy her work more. Her style is nice, nothing mind-blowing, same with her topics and ideas.
Overall, it made a nice company on the bus on my way home.
Also, I've just learned Leav has some (one(?)) published novels, which I feel I might enjoy a bit more, but we'll see if I ever decide to read it.
