The novel is a coming of age story that sees Jake negotiating coming out, his crush on swim captain Kenny, and his plans to apply to college in Florida. You Brought Me the Ocean was nominated for a GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Comic Book. This results in Jake having blue markings on his skin that glow when he touches water. Jake is the estranged son of Aquaman villain Black Manta, who genetically altered his DNA. Jake is a teen who has always felt drawn to the ocean, despite living in the land-locked town of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. The novel re-imagines the origin story of Jake Hyde, aka Aqualad.

Readers learn little about the rules or foundational beliefs governing this world. While the tale has intriguing elements (everyone has a counterpart that is a tree, and the welfare of both are intertwined), they’re largely underdeveloped. Ella soon leaves too, although her goals aren’t clear. Their mother barely notices (she now conflates the two as Cinderella) when Cinder leaves to take a castle job on the prince’s domestic staff.

As they travel an empty highway in the dead of night, an increasingly worried Charlie begins to think she’s sharing a car with the Campus Killer. There’s something suspicious about Josh, from the holes in his story about his father to how he doesn’t seem to want Charlie to see inside the car’s trunk. Like the Hitchcock heroine she’s named after, Charlie has her doubts. For Josh, it’s to help care for his sick father. For Charlie, it’s guilt and grief over the murder of her best friend, who became the third victim of the man known as the Campus Killer. Both have good reasons for wanting to get away. They met at the campus ride board, each looking to share the long drive home to Ohio. Josh Baxter, the man behind the wheel, is a virtual stranger to Charlie. Bush is in the White House, Nirvana’s in the tape deck, and movie-obsessed college student Charlie Jordan is in a car with a man who might be a serial killer.
