Review

This a coming of age book and up to date as well as timeless. Cassidy is "running away" for the summer. She is going to stay with her Dad and new family on an island. Her old boyfriend broke her heart by cheating on her, and posting it on line so the whole world can see. Cassidy leaves behind her best friend and her life. She gets a job at a summer camp where her six year old half brother goes. Cassidy sees Bryan for the first time when she throws old boyfriends necklace into the ocean. He's working at the rec center as well, but now that he's not in his car she sees he's in a wheelchair. The two become very close... Bryan was hurt trying to do parkour. The story has some drugs, sex, and language. When things get bad Cassidy turns to her Dad for help. A great read for 9th grade and up.

Overall Book Score: very good
