After reading the "First Look" , I was absolutely excited when I received the chance to read the whole book. The main story takes place over a 24 hour period. And so much is packed in those 24 hours... which I'm not going to go into as I don't want to post any spoilers.
This book really captured my attention. The characters were very interesting. And the storyline was fresh and different. The world building was amazing and intriguing as well - a flooded world with small islands with attached floating man-made "reefs". Flooded worlds have been done before, but not really in this manner. Then you have the idea of getting to spend 24 hours with a loved one who had passed away. A chance to ask them anything, or to spend time just being with them again. (Interesting, but also a bit cruel in a way - you kind of go through the grief of losing them twice.)
This book is a YA...which is not my usual choice of genre to read, but I'm so glad i had the opportunity to read it.
