  • Oh My Books! Review5

    Maria Guajardo (GABY) I wanted to read this book since it was released last year. It sounded different than most YA books, and I have read amazing reviews!

    Sea is the story of Sienna. She's fifteen years old and still have nightmares of her mother's death. She still can't accept the fact that her mother is lost forever, and his father is very worried. So he decides to invite her to Indonesia, where he is going to help tsunami orphans with their post traumatic stress disorder, and maybe Sienna can help / be helped.

    Sienna is a great character. It's obvious she's depressed and scared without her mother, but she's very brave to accept traveling to Indonesia. I was so mad with her father for inviting her at first! But she managed to be stronger that I thought, and to enjoy her trip.

    I really want to travel someday to Indonesia. I've seen tv shows / movies about Indonesia and the description of this book was very close to what I imagine. I don't think it would be so easy to find a hot Indonesian boy who speaks English, but it's fiction, and it worked!

    Deni was amazing. He may be young of age, but as usual in those countries, he's very mature and actually an adult. He was so respectful with Siena, it was refreshing to find a boy like him in YA.

    The ending left me kind of confused, but I have to congratulate the author for being so brave and write a realistic ending!

    Overall, I'm very glad I read Sea. It was an amazing story, romantic, sometimes sad, but realistic! Definitely recommend it for everyone who wants to read an excellent contemporary YA book. by Maria Guajardo (GABY)

    One of the best books you will ever read.5

    Erica Heidi R Kling has written a breath-taking debut with Sea! Readers are plunged head first into a heartbreaking story of loss, hope, and new experiences. Sea is a book that speaks to everyone, but everyone can take something a little different away.

    Sea is a touching story that helps a person connect with themselves. It is a book to make you think, and think deep. You look at the situation these characters are in, and it makes you look at the world around you in an entirely different way.

    The characters were wonderfully written. I fell in love with Elli - I wanted to pull her off the page and just give her a hug. She was a little ball of sunshine even after all the horrors she had been through. Sienna was a wonderful main character. She was compassionate, and had drive - she had experienced horrors in her past and wanted to help others work through their horrors. She fit no cliches and was her own person. One of my favorite things about Sea was there were so many characters you may have only heard from once or twice, and they stuck with you throughout the entire book. And with all the characters, it almost seemed like you could hear their voices in your head.

    When I first read this description of Sea and heard there was this relationship between Deni and Sienna I was excited. As I read, I found out Sienna would be in India only 2 weeks, and for a moment I remember thinking, "Oh no! Will that connection be real? I mean, can something that awesome believably build in that short of a time?" I was worried for a minute that that connection they had would fall flat, and not live up to my expectations, but Heidi R Kling left no room for doubts or anything with the strong connection Sea and Deni had. It was so intense and beautiful, you were simply drawn to it. Their relationship was so involved, and blew you away.

    As you read, you get this feel of Indonesian culture. You saw the characters' struggles, and that presence of culture just intensified the reality of them. I also loved the setting - it was unique. I had never read a story in this setting, and everything was new. That made Sea a hundred times better, as you didn't just feel like you were along side the main character discovering this new world to them. In Sea you literally were along side Sienna discovering Indonesia and its culture.

    When you are reading Sea, you would by no means guess that it is a debut novel. The story leaps off the page and speaks to you. It's a journey of the heart and emotions. Once I started reading, I had troubles putting it down. Sea is a book for all types of people, it is one you don't want to miss. by Erica
