Synopsis:
I've spent seventeen years being a wallflower. Seventeen years, watching
people live their lives, while mine stood still. I was happy for those years, nothing new happened
because I never let it, every day was the same and predictable.
When my parents told me we were moving...to another state, I freaked.
I spent the first week, after the move, wishing I could move back. But then something changed. I
became a someone, and to begin with I enjoyed it, but I soon learned, some things aren't always as they
seem.
I have two lives now. Both of them are testing me, pushing me to my limits.
About the Author
MY REVIEW.
★★★★★
This is a lovely teenage adventure.
Chelsea and her parents have just moved to a new town. Chelsea has always been quiet and shy, and the idea of going to a new school and meeting new people is scary.
Cory is the boy from next-door. His parents and Chelsea's have become good friends, so Cory persuades her to go with him to a party. The people she meets all seem welcoming and Chelsea starts to enjoy himself.
Getting to know lots of new friends and joining them at the beach for the day is a big turning point in her life. She has so many things happening in this new life, and many emotional upheavals. Deciding what to do about two very different boys is just the most frustrating one.
I loved this book. The characters are so real and the consequence of the day on the beach so incredible. I would gladly have changed places with our heroine. There are a few
life lessons in there as well. I will definitely recommend this to all my younger friends.
