Welcome to Litsy!

Jen Malone, author of teen novels Wanderlost and Map to the Stars, will take readers to the high seas�literally�in this contemporary YA novel about a girl facing the dissolution of her parents� marriage, a new romance, and self-discovery while sailing down the Pacific coast. After concluding that her is to blame for her parents� recent divorce, Cassandra McClure is hoping to stay as far away from her as possible. With a summer of freedom right around the corner, it shouldn�t be too hard. But when a forty-foot sailboat appears in her driveway and her mom announces that Cassie and her brother Drew will be accompanying her on a four-month sailing trip down to Mexico, Cassie�s plans for the summer go, quite literally, overboard. Once the three set sail, tensions quickly rise. So meeting Jonah�a gorgeous, whip-smart deckhand�is an unexpected bright spot on an otherwise dim horizon. Though she tries to keep him at a distance�considering the upheaval of her home life�their chemistry is impossible to ignore, and Cassie soon finds herself questioning everything: Should she go for it with Jonah? Can she forgive her mom? Will home ever feel the same? With life�s unpredictable tides working against her, Cassie must decide whether to swim against them, or dive right in.
