Ferris Beach by Jill McCorkle

nicoleleemiller's review against another edition

This is one of those books where nothing seems to happen, meaning no one big event, no climax etc. But sometimes these are the best stories, where we follow the characters through a part of their life. This was about Katie and her best friend during the early 70s. Katie learns that people are more than what they seem. A good read about friends, neighbors, and appreciating people for who they are.

This is a coming of age book about two teenage girls and the emotions and angst of those teen years ; the idea of the potential for second chances in life was the basis for the story. I got bored with it at times which is one of the reasons it took me so long to read, but in the end it was worth the time.

It took me a few chapters to really get into Ferris Beach, but after I did, it was so easy to become wrapped up in the story. I found myself waking up early to read the next few chapters, to see what bit of misfortune happened to fall on Kate or her neighbors. Loved it!
