Water Wings
Amelia Armstrong, Milly to her friends, has been a struggling actress for so long that even she thinks it might be time to call it a day. But as the prospect of leaving Dublin and returning shamefaced to her parents in England looms, she decides to give the acting lark one last try. An Irish film director is looking for someone with the natural, beach girl look, and one bottle of hair bleach, two bottles of fake tan and three castings later, Milly has the part. The trouble is she's told the director she's a genuine water baby when in fact she has a pathological fear of the ocean. Along with her flatmate Fi, Milly embarks on a journey to a small Donegal town to learn to surf, with the help of Fi's cousin Mac. But as Milly strives to realize her dream, the friends face more challenges than they ever imagined just trying to stay afloat.

Nope, i just couldn't do it. I reached halfway, and even though it's really easy to read, the writing is bad, and the main character just insufferable. If I continued, the chances were that I'd put myself in a reading slump and I really don't want that...

I picked up this book from a clearance bin in an airport gift shop in 2007. I was 12. I had nothing else to read on the plane, and figured this would at least be something, though a bit mature for me at the time.
It’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
This book is now my lifelong favorite. I’ve destroyed that first copy from reading it time and time again. I am now three reads in to my backup.
This is a feel-good book that will take you through a plethora of emotions. I outwardly laugh, snort, giggle, sigh, gasp, and cry, each time. The characters are relatable and the way the author writes makes you really feel like you know them.
If you want a story full of heart, friendship, and giggles that goes beyond just surface-level issues (this book gets deep in to real life issues as well), this is the book for you.
Just read it already. You won’t regret it.
