I enjoyed this author's books so much in junior high. I think I had an affinity for athleticism in books?

Fast, but satisfying read that has surprising depth, dealing with the difficulties of navigating a new town, climate and school, adjusting to divorce, a painful death and the realization that something completely unexpected can rock your world.

Great YA beach read.

[Jan · Rating 2 out of 5]

Girl moves to California after parent's divorce. Girl doesn't fit in. Girl joins surfer community to fulfill PE requirement. Girl doesn't know how to surf. Girl learns to surf, meets hot guy, has romantic quandaries, saves burned out surfing instructor from drowning, yadda yadda.

Yawn. But a decent beach read for teens who enjoy light romantic chick lit fare.
