This book is like crack. Once you start, there is no going back. Firstly, I loved that it was fast-paced and probably the reason why I finished it in one seating. The story focuses on Georgie who returns to his childhood home and is met with a wave of nostalgia when visiting the Hempstock’s farm. Years before, Lettie gave herself to the ocean to save his life and this flashback comes all too scary almost hard to believe that they happened to such a young boy.
