Explanation Toward Books The Sea of Tranquility
I live in a world without magic or miracles. A place where there are no clairvoyants or shapeshifters, no angels or superhuman boys to save you. A place where people die and music disintegrates and things suck. I am pressed so hard against the earth by the weight of reality that some days I wonder how I am still able to lift my feet to walk.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.

Some things you just have to learn to live with. ➦Nastya doesn't talk. Not because she can't but because she chooses not to. She tries to go through life unnoticed, while never forgetting that day when her life got taken away from her. ➦In an attempt to restart her life, Nastya attends a new high school where nobody knows her. She meets a boy named Josh , who is not without problems of his own. They become friends and end up helping each other heal.➦I know I'm 4 years too late to the partyFIVE STARS CANT POSSIBLY BE ENOUGH.I am moved beyond words.

TOP FAVORITE!!! My Cast: "He needs to be able to fix things and make it all better; to believe that youre okay so that he can believe hes okay.Nastya is an illusion. She has changed schools and fled the safety of her family because she cant be who she used to be before her life took a horrific detour. She has moved in with her aunt and has begun classes at a new school. She also dresses to scare/repel other students. Josh Bennett is as socially inept as Nastya. He has lost every single person
my review, a story:i meet my mother for lunch one day. whilst eating and conversing, my thoughts slowly start to drift to this book (which i finished reading earlier that morning). mom wonders what im smiling about and i tell her i am in love. she asks, 'oh? how long did that take?' and i tell her only a couple of chapters.because its true. i fell in love with this book (and more importantly, josh) so quickly, so deeply. i have a soft spot for broken backgrounds and those who have the strength
People who have never been through any sort of shit always assume that they know how you should react to having your life destroyed... As if there's a playbook for surviving hell. The resignation and grief, the guilt and self-hatred. Especially the 'getting away from your loved ones' thing? Bull's eye.**If you want to learn a bit about how people, in the real world, actually deal with guilt and loss and profound disappointment, this book would be illuminating to you.** And I can't say that
4 stars! "I think I can believe in hope and I would like to believe in the dream of second chances." Well Katja Millay just brought on all of the feels.This is one of those books that has been sitting on my tbr shelf forever. I had made a 2015 resolution that I would do my best to read all of the physical books I owned that have been sitting on my bookshelves for months, some even for years. The first book in line was this one. I cannot believe I waited this long to read it. It's such a
I get it! I FINALLY get it!Everyone's been admonishing me for not having read this book. "Read it!" They told me. "You'll love it!" Well, you were all right! I did enjoy this book. Very much.It's sad and melancholy, yet sweet and uplifting. The characterization is really beautiful ... I liked that every single character was flawed in some way. Incredibly realistic. And not at all forced. Everything about them felt natural and realistic. And, even though it's been a (long) while since I was 18, I
