Raw Blue is the story of a reconciliation of the past, survival of the present, and hope for the future. It is a beautifully written book and contains very vivid imagery and a unique setting that comes alive to the readers.
Things I loved: The Characters- I thought they were full of life and very relateable. I loved that they were quirky in their own little ways but always there to support Carly and help her grow on her journey. Hannah and Danny captured my heart.
The Emotion- wow, this one really packed a punch! It doesn't shy away from heavy emotion, and the reader can very much feel Carly's emotion drip off the page and into their hearts. The whole books seeps with intense emotion, whether grief or regret or joy. It's what makes this book so beautiful.
The older protagonists- I loved reading a YA book that didn't take place in high school! It was wonderful to have a main character that was 19 and a love interest that was 26. Being a twenty-something myself, it was great to have a protagonist that while, not taking quite the same path as myself, was dealing with some of the same issues as I am. It was very refreshing.
The writing- just beautiful prose. No doubt about it.
The things I didn't love quite as much: The surfer talk- Being an American and one who's never surfed, I didn't quite understand the surfer talk. Overall, I think Kristy Eagar did a great job with making the reader feel the importance of surfing to Carly's life, which was very clear. However, the day-to-day life of surfing was a bit lost on me. I didn't understand the colloquialisms that the surfers had, or the various ways they described the ocean or the other surfers. While this didn't detract too much from the story, it left me feeling a bit excluded from the story, where I was standing on the outside guessing what various phrases meant.
The sex- I understand completely that this comes with the territory of an older protagonist. And I applaud Kristy Eagar from refusing to shy away from it! I also understand the purpose of sex in this book, as it plays a crucial role in her relationship with Ryan. I hate it when books put in a sex scene just because they feel like they have to- and this book certainly didn't. And so, this point is not against the book at all, it just didn't sit quite right with me personally. It was very different from my own life and morals, and while it made me think, it ultimately didn't mesh with my personality and so reading it made me feel uneasy.
Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book. It made me see what life is like for others my age across the world and I loved gaining that perspective. I also really appreciated the emotion I felt throughout the book, because it helped me recognize that sort of intense feeling in my own life. Ultimately, my roommate loved it more than I did, but I suspect that's because she could relate more to Carly than I could. However, books belong to their readers, and I'm glad I could share a book with her that had such a positive impact on her life. And I'm glad I got to experience it too!
Thanks to Holly from Book Harbinger for giving me the opportunity to read this wonderful book!

So, I dunno. It was fine. But there was something very ordinary about this story.
Two things I did like a lot: the descriptions of surfing, even though I have no friggin' idea about surfing; and, the setting. I know Manly a bit and the northern beaches barely at all, but it's always cool to read a book that's so obviously set in Sydney. At one point Carly (after driving to the airport) wonders why you'd ever go south of the Spit Bridge: "Why you would want to live over there, I do not know." I have the same opinion, but in reverse: I can't imagine living north of the Harbour Bridge. It's a psychological block. Everything over there feels like a million miles away from anything that matters. Maybe that's the point. And maybe I'm just diametrically unable to get this book.

Look, I know Carly suffered horrible trauma, and she wasn't coping with it too well - 'cause (speaking from personal experience) when you're that age you think your only recourse is to deal with it yourself; seeking professional help or therapy is not an option. So she's pretty much a mess, living a quiet life and gradually isolating herself from everyone around her. The thing is, that actually doesn't make for a very gripping story. Carly's passivity and narrow focus kinda bugged me. She loves surfing to the exclusion of everything else - and then she gives up surfing. Okay, so she comes back to surfing eventually - but even with the promise of Ryan in her life (and stories where women are "saved" by the affections of a man rub me the wrong way) I'm not confident she's ever gonna get her shit together. But then, she is only 19. And Ryan's 26, and that age difference doesn't seem so terrific to me either. I liked Ryan's backstory a lot, but who is he beyond some dude who's been to jail and listens to The Sunnyboys? Even if he makes a mint in the mines what kind of future is he gonna offer Carly? Despite the surfing it all seems very mean and, fuck: you gotta dream big.Two things I did like a lot: the descriptions of surfing, even though I have no friggin' idea about surfing; and, the setting.

Powerful read. Love how this book reminded me that so many people suffer and struggle day to day, how I need to remember to treat people with love and not automatically judge things or behaviors I don't understand.
Such intelligent commentary about the way brutality against women is portrayed in Western culture.
Love what surfing is able to give her-the power and freedom she doesn't feel she has in her 'real life'. Carly and Ryan were quite wonderfully swoonworthy as well.
And why is this brilliant novel not widely available in North America? Oh yeah, people are too busy reading Fifty Shades of Gray. Ugh!

Here I sit having just finished a borrowed copy of Raw Blue and I'm astounded by the phrasing and poetry of words that this author can write. We all speak English, at least the books I read, and yet the way Kirsty Eagar puts words together is like hearing them for the first time or painting a picture with new colors you've never seen before. It amazes me to find an author like that. And Kirsty Eagar is one of those authors. But it isn't just about the way she has with words. It's the story and the characters and the surfing and the ocean. It's the whole damn book. It's everything. I can't pick one thing out of it that I like the best.
Carly is broken. But functioning and that's the best she can say for herself. She gets up, surfs until she's tired. Then gets ready for work and works the evening shift in a cafe in the kitchen preparing things meticulously and avoiding her coworkers and conversation. She works only as much as she needs to cover the bills and rent. She's quit school, "uni" and been quit by her family. "If I was just angry, it'd be easy, but it hurts too, it hurts so bad, because I love my mum and I'm scared being out of my family. But when I'm in it, I feel like I'm being pressed into the wrong shape. Things with Dad will never be the way I want them because I'm not what he wants. I'm trying to accept this but it's funny how you forget all the time." (p. 20) This early on, we find out how alone Carly is and how remote she's kept herself from everyone around her even now. She's got an upstairs neighbor that she speaks to, but no one really knows her or that something terrible happened to her.
Another passage that was so profound to me was "This is why people kill themselves, they can't get away from the things they carry in their heads. Shame isn't a quiet grey cloud, Shame is a drowning man who claws his way on top of you, scratching and tearing your skin, pushing you under the surface." (p. 37) From these two passages a bleak image of Carly's life outlook is painted even though you'd think, surfing on the ocean, the rush of the water, the sun and the adrenaline would give her a sunnier outlook. But obviously her shame overshadows everything. Stories in the news remind her of what's happened to her. Her every waking moment is filled with the fear that she'll hear their voices, the voices of the ones that did this terrible thing to her.
Her coworkers are all disgusting to me with the exception of her boss, Emilio. Marty is a pig, going after any and every girl, the two women are chain smoking gossips, Adam with open sores on his hands sticking his fingers in all the food, Roger the alcoholic. The only worthwhile one is the little boy she meets while surfing who she takes on as a semi apprentice to work with her, Danny. She surfs with him and chats with him on the water. Totally big sis, little bro stuff. But he's also like an emotional barometer for her because he can see the colors of things and people and her color changes based on her mood.
Mostly what I see in Raw Blue is Carly, trying to exist outside of what happened to her. But she knows what's happened to her and that it's affected her, but she seems to be trying to live around it or over it, not dealing with it, not accepting it, not admitting it. Not only does it cause her isolation, but mistrust of every male, and people in general. She finds out Marty is homeless and thinks, "I'm waiting for him to ask if he can crash at my place. Even though I don't want him to, I'll say yes, because it seems to me that people always want something from you and I can't work out how to hold the door shut against that any more."(p.86) Her boundaries have been crossed and with the borders down, she doesn't know how to put them back up. She doesn't know how to enforce the boundaries she once had, so she's afraid to come out of the cave like existence she's been living in.
I think Kirsty Eagar steps into the shoes of Carly, a girl raped and unable to deal with it and leads us through her journey of dealing with it. I think that many rape victims would benefit from reading this novel, but I know many more people who enjoy good fiction will enjoy reading this powerful story. I didn't plan to read it in one sitting, I had other things to do, but I couldn't put it down once I started reading. And there were so many quotable moments. There were times to smile and times you wanted to pull your hair out and times you just wanted to cry for Carly or with her. It's a realistic look at the effects of rape on a young woman and the aftershocks that follow it. I highly recommend it for older YA readers.

Raw is the perfect word in this title. The whole book is raw like an open wound with emotion dripping from every page. If there is one book I could give a hug and a cup of sweet tea to then this would be it! Look at it, even the cover is beautiful!
This is the story of a girl who at the start of the book is just trying to survive day to day. Every day for Carly is surfing and working to make the money she needs to surf. The back story of Carly's trauma is slowly revealed through the book, but it does not feel like this is being kept a secret from us, more like Carly is telling when she can.
The other characters in the book are also amazing and only add to the story. While on the subject of the other characters - Ryan!! Why can't I have my own Ryan? It is easy to see why Ryan keeps Carly afloat, he is charming, supportive, patient and smoking hot!!
Right from the get go this is an extremely Australian book, using what can only be described as Australian sounds. I thought this was funny and my years of watching Neighbours and Home and Away when I was younger paid off. I also think that these years of viewing Home and Away made me think that surfing is super cool. I have no knowledge of surfing or any of the lingo but I never felt confused about the surfing talk.
I loved this book so much I think it will forever bin in my top 5 books. If you have not read it yet then out down whatever you are doing and get yourself a copy!

Full review on my blog.
Some of the writing was really lovely but in general... Terrible hot mess with throwaway characters and occasional comments from the narrator that feel incredibly racist and ignorant. I cared more about Marty, Shane, and Danny than I did about the narrator whose name I can barely remember and her pseudo-boyfriend.
Marty and Shane are ripe for redemption, which I really appreciate in a character. Unfortunately Marty disappeared 30% of the way through the book, Shane got kicked out of the apartment (what was the point of the boyfriend mentioning that he can be a good guy if he is just an asshole in the end?), and poor Danny was pretty much irrelevant the whole way through.
While I appreciate the thoughtful reflection on rape (it's a lot more meaningful and blunt and realistic than in other YA books I've read), this book just feels like a complete mess. With too much surf jargon.

Carly's life is at a bit of a standstill. She was raped before starting university and subsequently dropped out of university because she just can't seem to find it in her to surrender herself to an office job. She's living in Sydney, working as a cook in the evenings, and finding time to surf every single day. Her life is filled with fear and she's very closed off. But some very persistent people find their way in and she finds herself attracted to a new guy, Ryan, who is a passionate surfer and just got out of prison. But none of the social interaction is easy for Carly, whose fear and trauma make it difficult for her to accept a ride from Ryan, let alone have sex with him or accept the emotional intimacy that comes with a new, serious relationship.
The tone of this book is rather dark, it reads like there is a storm cloud hovering the whole time. And the changes in Carly's life are subtle. She doesn't jump back into civilization or even really deal with her past or end up falling madly in love or anything drastic. Moving on in this book is realistic-- it's a bumpy path with sometimes serious lows. But Carly is able to hang on to some self of herself, mainly through surfing, and through the support of people who are willing to accept her, even in her damaged state.
This was really nicely written and really stuck out to me in terms of YA rape books. I'm not usually a fan by how rape is used as a plot device, but here it felt real and authentic and not a ploy whatsoever. Carly is just a girl whose life has been turned upside down by rape and who is trying to make it through on her own. I liked that things were quiet and subtle and that the romance is there, but not a cure for everything. I wish I knew more Australian slang and surf jargon because I got lost a little, especially with the surf sections. And while I liked the subtlety of this book, I keep of wish the ending would have given me a little more resolution. I get that this is going to be a long term healing process and we only get a glimpse of it, but I leave this story not entirely sure that Carly is going to be ok and that's kind of an uncomfortable feeling.

I read this in the Blue Mountains/Sydney, after doing the Bondi to Bronte part of the walk that is actually supposed to span Bondi to Coogee. I saw the mad surfers walking barefoot across the road to get food after catching some waves; some not even in wetsuits even though the weather is currently just barely spring-like. I read Kirsty Eagar's book partly to understand this obsession, partly because Australian YA fare is so exciting right now, and partly because I am now in this fascinating place with weird plants, and amongst people whose casualness, graciousness and (rare) offhand outbursts of racism I am seeing a bit more closely than the first time I visited Australia (Melbourne) for a whirlwind work-trip in 2008.
I think Raw Blue fills a vital niche in the 17-22-year-old YA market: Carly is 19 and Ryan is 26, and the former has dropped out of university to work a part-time job as a cook in a cafe while the latter has a somewhat colourful past... The secondary characters are quirky to the point of being rather bizarre - the Dutch roommate who keeps saying 'Go vaginas', the Eurasian boy Danny who has synesthesia (the second time I've heard of this - the very first was, strangely, when I found [b:A Mango-Shaped Space|171020|A Mango-Shaped Space|Wendy Mass|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172384853s/171020.jpg|165142] (I forget how) on goodreads - while they are interesting, however, the motivations for their actions are rather unbelievable to me (why would Danny be so compelled to hang around Carly?). I think the novel is a great one but for these slight inconsistencies.

4.5 stars. I came to realize that there's something quite magical in reading books that I can label without any doubt as realistic fiction : trapped in that state of harsh honesty, when they're the most vulnerable to any objective analysis, the characters never annoy me. Give me a special snowflake and my mind will rip any flaw to shreds - not because I'm mean, simply because I cannot help. No matter how much I'll want to enjoy the ride, I won't be able to get past all the little details that bug me.
[That moment, there, when he said that and acted out of character. That dialogue, then, when she told him that and what the hell, really]
It makes sense, actually : serve me archetypes and I will expect them to follow the implied guidelines. Yet if the characters don't shy away from complexity but on the contrary, if I end considering them as human beings, their flaws won't have the same impact : instead of infuriating me, they'll make them dear to me.
Carly, Ryan - Danny, even - are dear to me.
I won't lie, when I saw many reviews stating that [a:Melina Marchetta|47104|Melina Marchetta|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1277655889p2/47104.jpg] fans would love this book, I stayed wary. I mean - Just how many times did I read that catchy line only to be disappointed? But for the first time ever, I stopped while reading and thought yes, this is it. There's no magic trick, though. Indeed that feeling doesn't come from the settings or even the issues dealt with, but with a simple while multifaceted truth, named Jonah, Taylor, Thomas, Ryan, Carly, Francesca....
These raw, multi-layered and messed-up characters grab you, remind you of random anecdotes from your past (also that cupboard there? Don't open it), drive you to call your mum because really, it's been a while, tear up but NO YOU DON'T FREAKING KNOW WHY SO WHO CARES THAT YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT SURF, you're having a moment there and -
"Shame isn't a quiet grey cloud, shame is a drowning man who claws his way on top of you, scratching and tearing your skin, pushing you under the surface."
ARGGGGG. I'll come back to review this book later. I sure cannot now. In the meantime, please give [b:Raw Blue|6989576|Raw Blue|Kirsty Eagar|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1266111020l/6989576._SY75_.jpg|7231905] a chance, because its beautiful writing and its real emotions won't disappoint you. I'm sure many reviewers explained why way better than me, so go read their reviews, okay? At this point, I'm not sure I can talk about it more without shattering into pieces. Sorry about that.
