The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune

4.0

oh my heart this was so cute and wholesome! if you need a feel-good escapist read, you need to pick up this book. all of the characters were so lovable and unique and the setting was so warm and comforting. also arthur- my man, he’s got style. i ship him and linus so much <33 and the message of this book is very poignant: sometimes our families are not by blood, but who we surround ourselves with. (whew, i got tears in my eyes)
my only complaint would have to be some of the dialogue being a little too over-the-top for my taste and the author being problematic, which is a real bummer since this is a really lovely story. nonetheless, you gotta read this.

4.5 / 5 stars
