Voice of the Ocean by Kelsey Impicciche

4.25

Towards the beginning of this book I honestly thought I wasn't going to like it that much. I was thinking it was going to be a 3 star or under, but I'm so glad that wasn't the case.
The further in I got the more I started enjoying it.
I love our main character, the found family was so nice and a Trope I always enjoy.
As far as the romance went, I enjoyed it. While I would have loved to see even more interaction between the Two of them, I was still invested and I liked that it wasn't a simple relationships and there are issues. It's messy and emotional and I enjoyed reading it.

A solid debut and I'm definitely interested in seeing what comes next from this author.

I throughly enjoyed this poetry collection. Though it was short, it was filled with emotion and I found myself drawn to it.
Definitely worth a read.

It took me a while to get into this one, for the first half I was only vaguely interested and honestly considered putting it down, but I'm glad I stuck with it because I did end up enjoying the second half of the book more than the beginning.
While the ending did feel a little rushed to me, overall I did enjoy a lot of things about the book

I really liked this book. The art style was beautiful, with the sharp contrasts of black and white versus the colour.
The Story was engaging.
Throughly enjoyed it.
