Search for oneself within chaos.

The Starboard Sea could be a good read for someone looking for a coming-of-age story that deals with loss, love, and self-discovery. The book follows Jason, a troubled teenager grappling with the aftermath of his best friend's suicide, as he navigates his way through his new school and the sailing team. The author skillfully weaves together themes of privilege, class, and mental health, while also exploring the complexities of first love. What sets The Starboard Sea apart is the rawness and honesty with which it portrays the emotional upheavals of adolescence.
