The House in the Cerulean Sea
TJ Klune
I needed something quick that would feel good to read, and TJ Kulne's YA Fantasy tale of a mysterious oprhanage and a by-the-book child welfare case worker more than fit the bill. Here is a book his is a book about finding a home and what it means to find (as opposed to merely have) a family. The prose wasn't always as magical as the subject matter, but the characters were good and the love story was very sweet. Felt good, man.
