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.Former pianist Nastya Kashnikov wants two things: to get through high school without anyone learning about her past and to make the boy who killed 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 Kashnikov, 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 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 story about a lonely boy, an emotionally fragile girl, and the miracle of second chances.

Rezension von BelEste es uno de esos libros que todo el mundo habla maravillas tengo expectativas muy altas y luego no me llega a llenar es que ni me han podido llegar los personajes parar amarlos o odiarlos y la historia en si vale que en un punto cuando se descubre todo me da pena y bueno en algunas escenas que yo las leia y decia no puede ser muy wtf no se me han parecido mal algunas cosas pero vamos esta bien pero en mi opinion no es para tirar cohetes pero tal vez la razon sea esa que no terminé de conectar con los personajes ni meterme mucho en su piel y la quote que más me gustó del libro fue esta <33333 <blockquote>“And if my Sea of Tranquility were real, it would be this place, here, with him. I don't say anything right away, because I just want one minute to look at him before I give him my last secret. And then I tell him. "Your garage.”</blockquote> La proxima lectura conjunta<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/766522-desa">Amp</a> una ligerita jajaja
Rezension von Patricia After reading this book, I keep asking myself why I didn't read it earlier.... To keep it short: I loved that book! It's intense, pretty deep and it doesn't lack sarcasm. I get why some people don't like it at all, it's a very slow burn and it's more built on feelings than on actions. I gave five stars because it was a huge surprise, that I surely did not expect. It was original and deep and made me cry. The characters are well written and not at all stereotypical. I really have a thing for Drew by the way :D
