Raw, honest, and beautifully written!!
“Under the Current is one of those books that grabs hold of you and doesn't let go. The characters are brought to life with such honesty and depth that the reader has the feeling of being right there alongside them. The descriptions of the ocean are so vivid that you can almost hear the waves crashing around you. The writing is beautiful, the pace is spot-on, and the emotional journey is unforgettable. The balance between strength and vulnerability make Tristen feel so real and his journey so unforgettable. This is hopefully the first book of many as Jared Siler has proven that he's a storyteller worth following.”

Fantastic and moving
“The book's exploration of vulnerability is honest and compassionate. Tristen's struggles are portrayed with authenticity and empathy, making him a relatable character. His journey and ultimate willingness to be open in therapy, demonstrates that true strength lies not in the absence of fear or uncertainty, but in the courage to face those emotions and emerge stronger. As someone who has always been drawn to the ocean and it’s healing effects on my soul, this is a captivating and insightful book that stays with you long after the final page. It’s a testament to the power of self-discovery, the importance of confronting one's past, and the beautiful strength found in vulnerability. I’m really hoping for book 2 with Travis and Lina.”

Couldn’t put it down!
“Read this book in a weekend...couldn't put it down. The author sort of immerses you into the sights and sounds and smells of the moment from the first page, keeps you spinning, then gently pushes you over the edge throughout the rest of the book in a way that makes you feel like you are experiencing the moment with Tristen. Overall, an inspirational and engaging book that is well worth the read, especially if you struggle with vulnerability, cultural pressures, and being known for who you truly are. Totally recommend!”
