The Last Forever by Deb Caletti

"My home is yours for as long as you want it to be. But are you running, Tess?"
"Running away can also be running to."
What a great great story. I found Tess to be quirky but hilarious. I thought she was snarky but WOW, the life she was handed was tough so I think she earned her sass. I loved her humor and her thoughts, her pain and her need to hold on to her mom and the memory.
But I also understood her anger. Her dad abandoning her (even though I saw his reasons too.) This was so well done. I never felt Tess came off as a bad person or an awful kid - she was just trying to deal with things the only way she knew how.
Jenny, Henry, Sasha. What a crazy crazy spot Parrish Island is and I fully enjoyed their quirky ins and outs. This was a fun but heart breaking story that I fully enjoyed.
"I've learned my lesson: Don't let a suburban ranch house fool you. Nothing is regular on Parrish Island."
Honestly, nothing was. It was just fun and sad and real.
