We Run the Tides by Vendela Vida
4.0

Set in San Francisco in the 80’s, teenage Eulabee and her best friend, Maria Fabiola, rule their street in Sea Cliff, an upscale, oceanside, neighbourhood. They know the who’s who in their own neighborhood like the back of their hand. One morning while walking to school, a private all girls school, they encounter something they couldn’t agree on. Then with Maria Fabiola sudden disappearance, their community is abuzz with what really happened and finding the reason behind will expose an ugly truth.

This book is about female friendship during early teens and all those teenage drama, the challenges of finding one’s identity and seeking peer acceptance, and the community we try to belong. It is an interesting start for me then it drag a little bit in the middle part but glad it pick up and throughly enjoy it. The author is able to weave the through the intricacies of teenage world and comes out with a heartwarming story.
