Review: The Girl From the Sea by Molly Knox Ostertag
I actually didn’t plan on reading The Girl from the Sea, but a graphic novel book club I’m in picked it for this month and it was available at my library so I figured… why not? Reader, I flew through the story in one day. I was actually surprised when I found out the page count was over 200 pages because it had gone by so quickly. It turned out, this cute and uplifting graphic novel was exactly what I needed. I’m so excited to share my thoughts on The Girl from the Sea with you for my first official graphic novel review!!!

I have a hard time admitting to myself when I don’t like a book. I’ll make excuses like “I’m just not in the mood”, “It’ll get better”, “I just have to try harder to understand the ‘deeper meaning'”. While all of these statements might occasionally be true, I also have to get better at admitting when a book just doesn’t capture my attention. With that in mind, here are two books that didn’t work for me.
