Lindsay’s Notes & Highlights

The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay

1 note & 7 highlights

I know this place. The thought comes at me again and I suck in my breath all at once and I just need a second. One more second to process what it means. I know this place.

I’m writing my review connected to this quote. The Sea of Tranquility is such a gem that I had to re-read it this summer after first picking it up 5 years ago. Told in dual perspectives, Josh and Nastia both are overcoming trauma. However, Josh is the “fixer” and even practices carpentry. Josh is juxtapositioned with Nastia who refuses to acknowledge her last. She is selectively mute and runs until she pukes. The dualities of broken versus fixed is seen throughout the book. How do we fix people who deem themselves broken? What makes a person broken? The journey with these two characters is beautiful.

Lindsay’s Quotes

“We rarely find a depth by looking inside of ourselves for it. Depth is found in what we can learn from the people and things around us. Everyone, everything, has a story, Gia. When you learn those stories, you learn experiences that fill you up, that expand your understanding. You add layers to your soul.”
― Kasie West, The Fill-In Boyfriend

“You must always look with both of your eyes and listen with both of your ears. He says this is a very big world and there are many many things you could miss if you are not careful. There are remarkable things all the time, right in front of us, but our eyes have like the clouds over the sun and our lives are paler and poorer if we do not see them for what they are. If nobody speaks of remarkable things, how can they be called remarkable?”
― Jon McGregor, If Nobody Speaks Of Remarkable Things
