ReplyDeleteOk, here's the top 5 reasons why you should read Sea Sick by Alanna Mitchell:
ReplyDelete1. She's Canadian.
2. She's a woman.
3. You'll wish very hard it was fiction.
4. Unlike other "end of the world" books I've been recommending, this one is in an accessible read.
5. You'll feel so sick when you're done you'll want to devour fiction until you've forgotten this book was real.
