She’s not like other girls - she’s boring

I love this book. If you adore the lighthearted and heart warming nature of The Princess Bride, then give this book a shot.

Tress is “not like other girls” (lol stay with me) or at least not like other girls I’ve read about recently. Girls that are powerful, snarky, sarcastic, sexy, strong-willed, funny, and make for fun protagonists (and I also adore my powerful badass women don’t get me wrong).

Tress, she’s boring. She likes the simple and mundane. She goes to bed on time. She collects cups.

She’s normal.

And I absolutely love that about her, because what makes Tress normal is also what makes her unique. As this is a book with a plot, Tress goes on an adventure. And quite an adventure it is.

Again, I really loved this book. Ask me any questions you have and I’ll do my best to answer them.

Happy reading! 📕

... Read moreIn literature, we often encounter heroines who are powerful and dynamic, filled with witty remarks and grand adventures. However, Tress stands apart as an example of the beauty found in ordinary life. This book celebrates her simplicity and everyday quirks that define her character: her love for collecting cups, her penchant for early bedtimes, and her penchant for a steady and calming routine. Tress might not fit the traditional mold of a brave heroine, yet this book skillfully uncovers the layers of her character as she embarks on a fascinating adventure that reveals her strengths. The narrative encourages readers to appreciate the uniqueness in normalcy, demonstrating that every person has their struggle and journey, no matter how mundane they may seem at first glance. If you enjoy exploring character-driven stories that celebrate the ordinary, Tress of the Emerald Sea is a book that should not be missed.
