A Sea of Unspoken Things
by Adrienne Young
3.5 stars rounded up.
now, mind you, im in a reading slump-its the first book ive finished in a bit. i was hesitant going in because, again, reading slump, so i didn't know how it would go. would i like it? hate it? would i even be able to finish it or would my slump worsen?
well, good news fellas. my slump did *not* worsen (although it might still be here?), and i DID finish the book.
we start the book with james going back to the small town she grew up in and left twenty years ago. her brother died, and she has the suspicion it might not have been an accident. after all, they're twins. she felt him die. helped with people from her past, james tries to figure out what happened to her brother, but when accidentally digs secrets up, she wonders if she really knew him.
this is my first adrienne young book ever. and honestly, it was quite good, and a nice introduction to this author. i know she primarily writes YA fantast, but this one is an adult mystery/magical realism thriller? it was a fun read, and while it was a slow one, it did pick up towards the ending. the characters were good and interesting to read about, and the plot was easy to get through and nice, although the mystery and "twist" were a tad obvious.
thank you to netgalley for giving me an arc. all thoughts are my own.
