You know, it's been a long time since I've fallen in love with a book, and finally it happened again. I've heard so many good things about The House in the Cerulean Sea, and I was happy to find out that it was well deserved. It's heartwarming, and funny, has the best characters who are flawed and mischievous and kind and deserve the best, and best of all it made me cry, not from sadness, but from happiness, which I don't think has ever happened before. There's so much love and kindness and hope in this book, and it's about family, found family, because you don't have to be related to be family.
