Olive's Ocean by Kevin Henkes

3.0

This is a book I know I would have connected to in a special way had I read it as a teenager.

Kevin Henkes is so gifted at writing from the place of understanding when it comes to his age groups. I don’t know how he does it.

All the important teenage stuff was in this story: questioning of purpose, shift in parental trust and relationship, the first kiss and the following drama, and growing through hard things.

Recommended for 12-15 year olds. Not one you need to read as an adult but one that would be great to read with your teenage daughter.
