"I live in a world without magic or miracles. A place where there are no clairvoyants or shapeshifters, no angels or superhuman boys to save you. A place where people die and music disintegrates and things suck. I am pressed so hard against the earth by the weight of reality that some days I wonder how I am still able to lift my feet to walk.
Full of rage and without a purpose, former pianist Nastya Kashnikov wants two things: to get through high school without anyone discovering her past and to make the boy who took everything from her pay.
All 17 year-old Josh Bennett wants is to build furniture and be left alone, and everyone allows it because it’s easier to pretend he doesn’t exist. When your name is synonymous with death, everyone tends to give you your space.
Everyone except Nastya, a hot mess of a girl who starts showing up and won’t go away until she’s insinuated herself into every aspect of his life. The more he gets to know her, the more of a mystery she becomes. As their relationship intensifies and the unanswered questions begin to pile up, he starts to wonder if he may ever learn the secrets she’s been hiding or if he even wants to.
The Sea of Tranquility is a slow-building, character-driven romance about a lonely boy, an emotionally fragile girl, and the miracle of second chances." -goodreads
I rated this one a 5 on goodreads.
This is seriously intriguing and a wonderful read. Nastya is a messed up to the hilt. She is absolutely ruined from an attack early on in her life. She died and in doing so a huge part of her died along with that moment. Josh is also messed up, but in a completely different way, hes never died.. but everyone else around him has. He is alone and he always has been. The two don't have a boom bang fireworks relationship that is in a bunch of romances now a days its more of a journey.. which in my opinion is more what a real life situation would be.. This is a brilliant display of love and the journey and struggles it takes for two people with actual issues to come together.
