What Kind of Book is The Only Fish in the Sea
Reviews
The Only Fish in the Sea feels a little bit like bedtime story you make up on the spot--it sort of rambles along and winds its way through a loose narrative, pulling itself together as it goes. It's thin on plot and thinner on morals but that's kind of the charm of it--it's just a story.
