Filled to the brim with pure, unadulterated joy, The House in the Cerulean Sea is unapologetically queer and unapologetically delightful.

I never give my favorite books as gifts because everyone I know has such specific tastes. So far, I've given this book to FOUR people. It also made me cry happy tears on the subway, and I'm not a crier, happy or otherwise. Just ask my mother (who received this book as a gift from me, read it, and loved it). Witty, whimsical, and sure to charm the pants off even the most crotchety of curmudgeons.

Magical gays, found family, and a gentle slow burn romance between an uptight caseworker and a sexy blonde wizard. A heartwarming tale for the jaded souls.

“The House in the Cerulean Sea is a heart-swelling wave of sweetness and hope. Mild-mannered government caseworker Linus Baker is sent on a secret assignment to an island orphanage he’s never even heard of. The astonishing inhabitants he gets to know there will change his life and make him reassess everything he thought he knew. This book will leave you believing in the good in everyone — even those society has given up on — and contemplating how huge changes have to start somewhere.”
