I honestly really enjoyed this read. Though it didn’t have the climax I was hoping for, I was intrigued the entire story and it was really easy to keep reading. The writing was well done and fast paced and I really enjoyed how the plot switched from present to past. Highly recommend if you’re looking for an easy summer read!

I hope this makes sense, but I felt like this was an 80s surfer version of East of Eden. This book caught me by surprise - I only read it because it was “available now” on Libby. It was gorgeous. The setting is a character in and of itself.

TJR does it again! I love her writing so much, and I think she is one of the best writers of her generation. I’m rating this four stars because I like TSLOEH and DJ&TS just a little more than this one, but I loved this book. I just found it didn’t grip me in quite the same way. I’m v excited to read Carrie Soto Is Back as well!
