<\/span>Auden is a brilliant student living with her academic mother in the wake of her parent’s divorce. She’s feeling out of sorts and lonely with her brother traveling abroad and all her friendships broken after a move to an elite prep school. She surprises herself by accepting an invitation to stay over summer with her dad, her stepmother and newborn half-sister in their seaside town.
\nThe summer changes Auden’s life and opens her up to a whole new world of possibilities.
\nThis YA novel is solidly written and succeeded in making me want to smack Auden’s parents heads together. Which means that it connected with me more than a lot of this teen\/romance stuff I’ve been reading of late.
\nI would certainly recommend this if you’re into contemporary YA family relationship stories.<\/p>\n
