Christa Comes Out of Her Shell by Abbi Waxman

3.0

---

Christa has been hiding out for years on a remote island studying sea snails - escaping a trauma from 10 years earlier, as well as the notoriety of her father's disappearance and supposed death 25 years earlier.  Now, her father has reappeared. As the true story of his disappearance comes out, Christa rekindles an old friendship with a childhood friend, Nate. 
This is a romance, but also a story of healing, and coming to terms with trauma - reclaiming your own story. 
I thought it was OK. I did enjoy the relationship between Christa and Nate.
