I finally got my reading groove back after being sick last month and zipped through The Sea by @madikonrad

I don’t always love 1st person narrative but the fireside chat style was perfect for this novella.
I was so immersed in the story I didn’t see the little twist coming.

Madeline, if you ever write a full length novel I’ll definitely be buying it!
