![]() She finds herself slowly opening up to these two new friends, only to encounter a bigger challenge in Ryan, a gentle yet intense surfer who refuses to be pushed away. Getting by with a cooking job at a local cafe, she tries to avoid people as much as possible, making small exceptions for her housemate, Hannah, a fabulously kooky Dutch woman who loves to salsa, and Danny, a kid and fellow surfer who revels in his synaesthesia. ![]() It's the only way she can escape a terrible secret from her past, so she's built her entire existence around going to the (gorgeous, Australian) beach and losing herself in the waves. Like, if she had one of those "Surf or Die" stickers on her car, it actually wouldn't be a lame bumper decoration. A college dropout, Carly lives and breaths surfing. Then I met Carly, and my blue crush (heyo!) got even bigger. ![]() Hell, I even like Lori Petty in Point Break, and you guys, I HATE Lori Petty. ![]() Like the chick who had her arm bitten off by a mothercussing shark and decided to go back into the ocean because, you know, what's a missing limb compared to the joy of catching a wave? I've read way too many Reader's Digest Drama in Real Life articles to ever find sharks NOT terrifying, which is probably one of the main reasons I respect surfers so much. ![]() I'll give it props for indicating the contents of the book (rare in YA these days), but the brooding goth girl doesn't do justice to badass Carly. While it's not embarrassing, this cover is a tad too emo for my taste. ![]()
