Cons

  • I personally didn't like it that much, but it is uplifting: The House in the Cerulean Sea.
  • The House in the Cerulean Sea, because reading it felt like eating artificial sweetener by the spoonful. I prefer books that aren’t just quips and parables held together by a loose web of unbelievably tasteless historical and political r...

House in the cerulean sea can absolutely be read on its own, since the main story finishes at the end of the book... i think both books are beautiful stories about characters that happen to be queer, and i think that could be a nice introduction to let your mom get more familiar with queer people

The House in the Cerulean Sea had my ugly crying (in a good way) so hard. I was dog sitting at the time, and the dog kept whimpering and putting her head on my lap because she was worried for me!

Cerulean Sea is beautiful and whimsical and Whispering Door is gentle and lovely and heartbreaking but in a good way. They’re two of my favorite books I’ve read in the past few years.
