Violet is struggling after her brother's suicide attempt. In an effort to curtail her erratic behavior, her parents send her to the small town of Lyric, Maine to stay with her uncle for the summer. After a touch of rebellious behavior, Violet settles into the quiet way of life, that is, until Orion and Liv come into her life. Both struggling from the loss of a mutual party in their life, Violet feels drawn to the two in a way she's never felt drawn to any person in her life. As they investigate some of Violet's family history, the love triangle falls away and all Violet can see is Liv. A beautiful book about loss, love, healing, and friendship, Julia Drake's The Last True Poets of the Sea is perfect for fans of books like All the Bright Places and History is All You Left Me.
