The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune

“This isn't simply an orphanage. It is a house of healing, and one that I think is necessary.”
I loved how this whimsical, cozy fantasy manages to capture real-life thematics of inadequate orphanage care, bureaucracy, queerness, xenophobia etc. Nevertheless it functions as a wonderful escape from reality, being centered around a warm story about healing and belonging and a cast of characters you can’t help but love.
