A review by bookishrealm
Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys
5.0
Oh boy this is my second 5 star book of the year! I think this year may shape up to have some really good reads and let me tell you: THIS BOOK FREAKING BROKE MY HEART!
I can't read anymore sad books this month lol. I don't think my heart could possibly handle it. Let me start by saying that this book was beautiful, I mean absolutely beautiful. It crafted this multi-perspective story in ways I could never imagine. I loved the history behind the story. I was a history major in college, but I have to admit this is one maritime disaster I don't remember learning about and I'm so glad that Sepetys felt the need to bring it to our attention.
The writing is actually what got to me. There is no way I could have possibly imagined that such a beautiful book could have contained four different perspectives, but it did. And trust me you won't enjoy everyone's perspective, but it definitely does add to the overall development of the entire novel. I don't think it would have been complete if it was missing any of the perspectives. I really really enjoyed this book and if you haven't read it I definitely would suggest going into blind. I think this is one that I will be doing a full review on once I get a chance.
