The Sapphire Sea by Davis Bunn
Thank you, #NetGalley , #DavisBunn author, and #RBmedia publisher, for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
Overall Rating: ★★★★★
The Story: Plot & Characters
The book follows Colin Eames, a super-smart kid who has had a rough life at home. He moves to a special school in the Outer Banks of North Carolina to get away from his father's temper and try to make a future for himself. Along the way, he makes real friends, falls in love for the first time, and tries to figure out what his mother meant by the "Sapphire Sea."
The Characters:
Colin: The main character, Colin, is a genius, but he’s also just a kid trying to find where he belongs. You really feel for him as he grows up.
Mira: A girl who has been through some hard times herself. She becomes a great friend to Colin when he needs it most.
Tiana: A student from Hawaii who shows Colin what it’s like to really fall in love and feel like you belong
The friendships and the romance aren't too much; they feel like relationships that help Colin heal. Even though it’s a deep story about feelings and growing up, the story keeps you wanting to know what happens next.
The Author: #DavisBunn ★★★★★
Davis Bunn is a great writer who has sold millions of books. He is really good at making you feel like you are actually at the beach in North Carolina. He writes about hope and second chances in a way that is easy to understand.
The Narrator: #SusanBennett ★★★★★
The audiobook version is read by Susan Bennett, and she is awesome. She makes every character sound different, so you always know who is talking. Her voice is very smooth and makes the 9-hour audio book fly by.
If you want a great story that makes you feel something without being too overwhelmed, this is it. It’s a beautiful book about leaving a bad past behind and finding a place to call home. Whether you're at the beach or just on your couch, it’s a total 5-star read.
