Review:
Salacia Project is the story for those of us who are in-betweeners, you know, those of us who never really fit in anywhere fully. It's for those of us who are always one foot in this world and one foot in another. It's also a story that follows the consequences of that and what we miss because we are never fully in any place.

Salacia has my heart as someone who is mixed and grew up somewhere that isn't their home. It's about speaking multiple languages yet mastering none. It's about growing up in one place but leaving to find a place that feels true to you, one that is home to you rather than to everyone else in your family and circle.

And the mention of Grief in here, exploring how it affects Sofia, how she goes back home and gets to be with her loved ones as they go through it? That hit so hard. The dedication alone just shows that this is for those of us who live away from what is meant to be home, whether because we have to or because we are in search of somewhere that is home for us
"For my grandparents and my aunt, and for everyone who had to say goodbye from far away."

I loved the dynamic between Sofia and Ilias, getting to know their family and friends and watching their loves blossom and grow. I loved that Ilias helps Sofia with breaking down her walls post her break up and that he is there with her during her grief. I loved how Sofia helped him with his family business and how they just brought the best out in each other

I can't wait to read the next book in the series and I'm SO excited to read Elena's backlog! What a book😍

Thank you to the Author for sending me an early copy (& a netgalley copy) as well!
