Like Sapphire Blue by Marisa Billions

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Have you ever found yourself inexplicably drawn to a character, celebrating their triumphs, yet grappling with a nagging moral unease? “Like Sapphire Blue” by Marissa Billions is a literary roller coaster that evokes precisely this complex emotional journey.

From the very beginning, I was captivated by the protagonist’s relentless determination to defy the odds stacked against her. She didn’t passively accept life’s challenges; she confronted them head-on, unyielding in her resolve. The narrative was replete with unexpected twists and turns, leaving me on the edge of my seat, eagerly embracing each shocking revelation.

Marissa Billions possesses a remarkable gift for crafting both words and characters that ensnare your heart. Even when her characters engage in morally questionable actions, you find yourself inexplicably rooting for them. As I closed the final pages, I was left pondering my own ethics, still unsure of my stance on the enigmatic conclusion. Ultimately, I’ve come to accept that I simultaneously agree and disagree with myself, a testament to the book’s thought-provoking power.

Few authors have the ability to make a story linger in your thoughts long after you’ve turned the last page, forging a connection between the reader and the characters as if they were cherished friends. Marissa Billions is one of those rare talents, and I wholeheartedly recommend delving into her books. However, I must offer a word of caution: “Like Sapphire Blue” merely hints at the emotional whirlwind awaiting you within its pages; it’s a title that doesn’t even scratch the surface of the profound impact this novel will have on your emotions.
