Sarah Dessen says this incredible first novel is fresh and wise, all at once.I read once that water is a symbol for emotions. And for a while now, Ive thought maybe my mother drowned in both. Annas life is upended when her father accepts a job transfer the summer before her junior year. Its bad enough that she has to leave her friends behind, but her dad is moving them to the beach where her parents first met and fell in lovea place awash in memories that Anna would just as soon leave under the surface. While life on the beach is pretty great, with ocean views and one adorable lifeguard in particular, there are also family secrets that were buried years ago. And the ebb and flow of the oceans tide means that nothingnot the sea glass that collects along the shore, and not the truths behind Annas mothers deathstays buried forever.

“In my mind I screamed, fought, anything not to be like her. Dark closed in even faster. My lungs ached; my limbs tossed around me, deadened; and my body hung suspended while my mind fought every one of those eighty-seven seconds.“

.ioisblocked Despite the fact that this is literal, this is still kind of a text to self connection; I've felt like I've been drowning (especially drowning in imposing assignments; thanks, ASI) in something bad. 5y

That-Bookish-Hiker Yay! So happy you like it. You said you wanted to be introduced to authors like Sarah Dessen so when I remembered reading these two after I read Sarah Dessen I thought maybe you‘d like them too. Both are on my favorite books list and I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. 😊 6y

I picked this up for the cover (don't judge me) I was pleasantly surprised by the story heartbreaking-heartwarming. Recommended for a quick read and a cool cover - I want to crawl in the picture and read on that beach! #amazingcover #readingwomenmonth
