Annie's Reviews > Sea Change

Sea Change is a book about a girl named Miranda who travels to a remote island off of Georgia to help her mother, Amelia, clean and sell the house her estranged mother (Miranda's Grandmother) left her. While there, her mother reconnects with friends, and Miranda meets some new friends of her own, including a local boy named Leo.

To start, I have to admit I didn't particularly connect with Miranda's character. She wasn't fully developed in my mind, and the only reason I considered her being logical, science loving, or anything of that nature was because I kept reading that she was over and over again, which became redundant and annoying. Personally, nothing she did as a character made me think of her as being smart or logical, and I felt that the author's characterization of Miranda was forced into place.

I also would have preferred if the supporting characters had more depth to them, and instead I found them all quite shallow and two dimensional. The author did an alright job of giving them more depth at the end of the book, and I hope that if there is a sequel that she will continue making them more like people and not place holders.

I did liked Leo's character, for what it's worth. Not that I knew anything about him by the end of the book, but I'm hoping that will change if there is a sequel.

All this being said, I didn't regret reading the book. I found it to be enjoyable in the long run and do plan on reading the sequel if one comes out.
