The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune

4.0

“The House in the Cerulean Sea” is an extremely whimsical and gay tome.

It is lovely.

Unlike many readers, I am not a cowardly peasant. I am entirely more correct than the average human being.

However,

This book made me sob like a baby. Additionally, my crying was not short lived. Rather, I cried throughout the final 150 pages of this book.

Am I ashamed? No.

Two years ago, I cried seven times while watching the movie “Chef” on an airplane. The movie, a comedy, brought tears to my eyes for no good reason. After creating an ocean with my salty eye water, I felt abashed. For I, a mighty titan among men, had stooped so low as to cry over the movie “Chef”. “The House in the Cerulean Sea” did not have this same effect on me. Yes, I cried, though after shedding my tears I was left with feelings of warmth and joy.

“The House in the Cerulean Sea” is absolutely enchanting, and anyone who disagrees is a spoiled egg.
