The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay


Former piano prodigy Nastya Kashnikov wants two things: to get through high school without anyone learning about her past and to make the boy who took everything from her—her identity, her spirit, her will to live—pay.

Josh Bennett’s story is no secret: every person he loves has been taken from his life until, at seventeen years old, there is no one left. Now all he wants is be left alone and people allow it because when your name is synonymous with death, everyone tends to give you your space.

Everyone except Nastya, the mysterious new girl at school who starts showing up and won’t go away until she’s insinuated herself into every aspect of his life. But the more he gets to know her, the more of an enigma she becomes. As their relationship intensifies and the unanswered questions begin to pile up, he starts to wonder if he will ever learn the secrets she’s been hiding—or if he even wants to.

The Sea of Tranquility is a rich, intense, and brilliantly imagined story about a lonely boy, an emotionally fragile girl, and the miracle of second chances.


MY REVIEW

What will happen when a lonely boy meets an emotionally fragile girl? Can two broken souls heal each other or both will be ruined...

Nastya = Rebirth. Because of the tragic event that happens to her when she was 15 years old, she decided to live with her Aunt Margot to start a new life, to a new school, to a place where no one knows her, where no one expect her to be SOMEONE who she used to be. And to find the boy who killed her.
Josh = Salvation. The boy who lost every person important to him, try to live a NORMAL life, create and build things to occupy the loneliness he feels inside.

Brilliant. Magnificent. Beautiful. Intense. Heart Wrenching. Epic.
 
I'm very lucky to read one of the most beautiful story ever written in history! Am I exaggerating? Yes I'am. It is not like other stories when boy meets girl, struggles happen, they solved the problem and then they lived happily ever after. 

The Sea of Tranquility is very realistic and very profound. And the way the story is narrated is very clear. Every page is worth the read.
True emotions surfaces from the characters especially from Nastya and Josh. I love their chemistry, both carrying a void in their soul but find comfort in the silence when they are together. Too much emotions evolve the two characters that your heart will soon cried out.

I really really love this story this is the kind of book you will re read over and over again. It is more than better to a TWO THUMBS UP and i will rate it with ENDLESS star.

Staring. Shrugging. Silence.Second Chance.Salvation...
