A Sea of Unspoken Things by Adrienne Young -> Starting May 7th, 2025

[Alaina]

A woman investigates her brother's mysterious death while coming to terms with her own haunting past in this atmospheric novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Unmaking of June Farrow

The only thing James and Johnny Golden have ever had is each other. For as long as she can remember, James’s deep connection with her twin brother, Johnny, has gone beyond intuition—she can feel what he feels. So, when Johnny is killed in a tragic accident, James knows before her phone even rings that her brother is gone and that she’s alone—truly alone—for the first time in her life.

When James arrives in the rural town of Hawthorne, California to settle her brother’s affairs, she’s forced to rehash the ominous past she and Johnny shared and finally face Micah, the only person who knows about it. He’s also the only man she’s ever loved.

But James soon discovers that the strange connection she had with Johnny isn’t quite gone, and the more she immerses herself into his world, the more questions she has about the brother she thought she knew. Johnny was keeping secrets, and he’s not the only one. What she uncovers will push her to unravel what happened in the days before Johnny’s death, but in the end, she’ll have to decide which truths should come to light, and which should stay buried forever.

a wee bit late (what's new)

but should be starting by Sunday! I have the audiobook

[Haley]

about 47% into the book so far!

(view spoiler)[ much different than the previous one we read... I miss the magical aspect, even though they both share the twin connection.

not sure how I would feel if I was able to feel everything with my sibling (physical sensations, mood, adrenaline) uhh no thanks - personally

I wonder what happened so long ago with Brett where James practically ran away. also why is she scared to admit that they didn't talk much at the end? I don't quite understand the point in lying about that (hide spoiler)]

[Haley]

up to ch 18 (view spoiler)[
honestly griffin didn't seem like the best of people, even though he didn't deserve to die that way. I was initially thinking he was going to point the gun at himself or someone else.. who play around with guns like that..

I have no idea what would have happened to Johnny,but maybe Mitch had something to do with it? he never witnessed johnny coming home with the truck (hide spoiler)]

[Haley]

up to ch 23 (view spoiler)[ okay so maybe not mitch but I'm not fully convinced. it appears that ben was griffin's son??

maybe he attempted to hurt sadie in the process ??

maybe sadie was the one behind autumns death on accident? hmm or johnn is covering up for someone? maybe his death was an accident? I'm pulling at straws because I really don't know (hide spoiler)]

[Haley]

finished (view spoiler)[
at first I was disappointed it wasn't going to be revealed what happened, but truth comes out.

I can't say I'm fully shocked because it was to protect her son... but at what cost? not my favorite books by her and wish I would have gotten more into it (hide spoiler)]
