The House in the Cerulean Sea 😍

This book is the ultimate cozy, heartfelt wholesome fantasy I needed. It's like a warm hug while curled up on the couch with your favorite blanket. I listened to the audio book and it was fantastic! The narrator was so lovely, and the voices he did for all the characters were so spot on and entertaining. The characters were so loveable, and I caught myself laughing out loud multiple times during my listen, as well as being brought to tears a couple times. This was definitely a pallette cleanser between my usually dark fantasy books, and it is exactly what I needed. Fantasy, no-spice romance that plays behind the scenes, found family, LGBTQ+ love in the sweetest warmest way. I loved everything about this book, I even immediately bought a copy for mom after I finished it. #booktok #BookReview #thehouseintheceruleansea #cozy #foundfamily ⭐️ Rating: 10/10
