Helpful Score: 1
In SEA CHANGE, Aimee Friedman has written an uplifting and magical summer read. This book has all the elements that a summer book demands: an exotic setting, secrets, multiple love interests, stormy emotions, and magical mystique.
However, SEA CHANGE is a book that relies mostly on mystery and plot to move along, which explains but cannot be an excuse for the lack of depth in most of the characters. Most notable how abruptly and incompletely Miranda and Leo's relationship develops. Physical attraction and "perfect" banter does not a believable relationship make, and I definitely felt like I was missing something that connected these two characters with each other. There were many times when I felt like SEA CHANGE got dangerously close to the line between sweet, feel-good read and cliche-ridden summer-mystery love story.
Overall, however, I would recommend SEA CHANGE and its intriguing mysteries as a light read, perfect for a beach or poolside day.
