It's a bit unbelievable how strong, patient and understanding he is.This book is very much about love, intense love, but it doesn't focus on the romantic very much at all. It's about a friendship so strong that best friend doesn't seem to capture its significance. Where Chris and Blythe are like soulmates in the romantic sense, Sabin is like a platonic soulmate to Blythe if such a thing exists. It's a little confusing and hard to relate to for me since I haven't felt or seen the kind of platonic love described (one as powerful and deep as shown), but it's clear that Blythe and Sabin's relationship is incredibly unique and special. It was also nice to see more into the relationship between Sabin and Chris as brothers. Like I said, Chris is some kind of freaking hero with how perfectly he deals with everything. But it's nice to see.If you're looking for more romance this will probably not satisfy you. This is a story of deep friendship and a more familial love, exploring a different perspective into the Shepherd family trauma. Also, as in the first book, fate and a sort of belief in the unbelievable does come into play once again, though not as strongly as in the first book. ### ⭐⭐⭐ A book for Sabin fans *by T***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2017* Restless Waters is the sequel to Left Drowning, and provided some closure for Sabin fans, but it felt a bit plot-light compared to the first book. Sabin is definitely a wounded soul, and he was clearly struggling to find his place in the world for most of the book. Since the story is told from Blythe's POV, it was sometimes hard to understand what Sabin was feeling (given that so much was explained by Blythe's observations of his behavior, which was filtered by her own lack of understanding (and denial)). Some of his feelings and issues were glaringly obvious, but it would have been great to read his inner dialogue in some instances. The author did try to convey a bit of Sabin's emotions through his song lyrics, which was somewhat helpful. I listened to the audiobook version, and the use of a musical artist to sing Sabin's songs was brilliant. I think the musical interludes saved the book a bit for me - so thank you, Troy (the artist). I am a fan of the author, but this book did not feel like a particularly satisfying read for me. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An emotional book that makes you feel real connections *by R***G on Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2015* 4.25 of 5 starsI adored Left Drowning and as soon as Restless Waters released it was one clicked. I have always been a huge fan of Jessica Park and my expectations for this book were extremely high. It has to be difficult to write a sequel to a book like Left Drowning since it was so emotional and heartbreaking.The book begins in Maine with both families together in the home Blythe and James's parents bought before their death. They are enjoying their last days of Summer and the twins and James are preparing to head back to college, while Blythe, Chris and Sabin have plans to stay in Maine. It is easy to dissect that Sabin still has demons and can't seem to control his actions at times. On the night before the other kids are set to leave, Sabin springs a sudden move to San Diego on Blythe and Chris. He says that he had it planned for a while but didn't want to ruin the Summer. This leaves Chris and Blythe alone for several months and they have a chance to enjoy each others company and remember how to just spend time alone without their large, boisterous family around.When the holidays arrive everyone plans a trip to see Sabin in San Diego and vacation there for Christmas and New Year. Things still don't add up with Sabin and his actions around everyone. At times he seems his normal self and then he just explodes. It seems as if he is warring with himself over some thing internally and taking it out on everyone around him. He is specifically pissed at Chris and seems to want to hate him and love him at the same time.I was happy that Chris and Blythe are still strong in their relationship and can sense exactly how to help the other. I always love to see Estelle, Eric and James in the scenes because they have the ability to add a lot to stories, even as secondary characters.Restless Waters is told entirely from Blythe's perspective even though the focus is Sabin. I struggled with this aspect of the book and think that if it had been from his POV or alternating the POV I think I would feel more connected to Sabin. That being said, I still enjoyed the story. I think that it was very difficult to live up to the expectation set from Left Drowning. However, I almost think this book is one that opens the door for Sabin to have a book that focuses entirely on him and a love story for him. I would love it if it was told from his POV so we could see the demons in his mind. We can only get a glimpse of his thoughts when it is what others are seeing.If you read and loved Left Drowning, I think you should take the time to read Restless Waters. It is still an emotional book. With the history of these two families, there is a lot of healing that still remains. They will always have scars and issues and that is why I love them. Nothing is fake about their story. Nothing is sugarcoated. It is a story that makes you feel real connections and emotion.
