Sula, a fifteen-year-old Filipino girl, has always known she's different. She has questions: why is her skin different from the fair ones of her family? why does it feel like her parents are hiding something from her? and most importantly, how could she know who she is if there are no answers?

She finds herself on a journey of self-discovery. Where she is drawn to the sea and where she figures out she's magically different.


Reading this is a sea-magical experience. It is wonderfully written and the characters are all well and beautifuly diversed. As said earlier, this book is set in the Philippines (my country), which is why i find this immersing. It is intriguing how some of our culture and beauty are showcasing here.

Plus, i love the message and representations portraying in this book.


Sula's own journey is inspiring, fascinating and heartening. Along with her self-searching voyage, she also finds friendship, love and solace. She mystically learns new lovely things.  Sula, you go girl! ~4
