Sea by Heidi R. Kling
4.0
I have never read anything like Sea before, it was intriguing, enchanting, and made me cry. Sea was so new a fresh, it was great how Heidi mixed, Sienna’s (the main character) past and the tsunami together. The two parts seemed to fit seamlessly together, it seemed that Heidi put a lot of thought into the story and how to weave it together. The romance was steamy, so I kept wanting more while also heartfelt as two broken people learned to heal.
I loved learning about the tsunami in Indonesia, because even though I have heard about, seen pictures, ect, it is still hard to fully comprehend the tragedy. Sea does a fantastic job of showing the emotional, and physical repercussions of the tsunami, while also bringing in Indonesia’s culture. At times I would find myself unexpectedly with sympathy for tsunami survivors as I got a glimpse into their head. From the start of Sea I could feel how Sienna’s mother’s death lingered over her, it felt so accurate to me.
The ending was perfect for the story, the way the story finally came together. The ending was not I expected but I loved it more for it, I didn’t see it coming. In all I think Sea is a book you must pick up, it has well thought out plot, great ending, and it is an original idea.
