krótka, ale treściwa. wyimek z wakacji pewnego piętnastolatka, który postanawia wyruszyć w podróż ze swoim tajemniczym przyjacielem Ulfem.

oczywiście wszystko idzie nie tak, jak powinno. nie brak tu ładnych słów, błyskotliwych spostrzeżeń nastolatka poznającego życie i morskiej bryzy.

I read this book because a) it met one of the 2019 Reader Harder challenge prompts and b) I owned it. I don't this it was written for me, but it was a quick read. I really enjoyed all the descriptions of sailing and I love a good take a trip with a friend book It was just a bit hard for me to relate to at times. Probably better for a teenage boy.
