Wow thanks @thereadheads for making me cry hysterically with no warning!!!! When I first started reading this book, I hated it. I hated the use of “dude”, the overplayed SoCal surfer girl vibe, it was just so cheesy. The beginning of the book read like a Disney Channel movie about surfing teens. BOY was I wrong. Like so wrong, I’m embarrassed I ever thought that. Kate is the most amazing character I’ve ever met. I love meeting a character that makes me look at my life and say “I want to me just like her.” And I do. She loved her friends so fully, and could call them out just the same. Her friendship with Clayton was such a shining example of the friend I hope to be to someone. And can we talk about Gus and Keller? No better characters could have been dreamed up to be her friends. I want to crawl inside their world and live there. Seriously, if you need a good mid week pick me up, don’t read this book. It was break you in the best way. This story is not for the faint of heart.
