Jill Hicks sets Adrift apart by her skill in casting the story through the eyes of each of the characters. At first glance, it’s a story of guy cheats on girl. Girl finds new love in surfer dude. You soon find its much more as one discovery after the other is exposed connecting each character to the other in unexpected ways. You will begin rooting for the good guys and wanted the bad guys to get their just rewards.
The story is more than a summer romance. It spans time and develops relationships. The writing is crisp and the characters become real. It’s a fine read.

I loved this book. I began reading it this morning, and neglected to get dressed. Finished it in the early evening, having been captivated by the story. It is a wonderful beach read, or rainy day read when all you want to do is sit there and read. I am definitely not going to get my steps in today!!
