A fun read ! The story starts a bit slow but picks up around a third of the book I would say. 
I was really invested in both timelines and almost every storyline, the characters can be a bit flat sometimes but I loved their dynamic. The only I didn’t really like is Jay for some reason, but I could relate a lot to Nina. 
A bit too much surfing for my taste though.
