This was a quick read, but a lovely one. Ostertag’s style is extremely charming and lively, and Morgan and Keltie have good chemistry together, with some really touching moments between them. Morgan’s own internal struggles with her sexuality, family relationships, and friendships, were sensitively and realistically portrayed. The bittersweet ending was a fantastic note to end on: Ostertag grounds the fanciful idea of falling in love with a selkie in modern, everyday concerns with a genuine voice which makes the characters feel all the more real. Like a few other reviewers have mentioned, I found the pacing a little abrupt, in places, but it by no means significantly detracts from an extremely enjoyable reading experience: The Girl from the Sea is well-worth reading.
