Overall, I liked this, but there were a few clunky parts and when I got to the end I felt like I'd read this story before (e.g. [b:Lost in the Sun|23281891|Lost in the Sun|Lisa Graff|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1412531205s/23281891.jpg|42819798], [b:Bridge to Terabithia|2839|Bridge to Terabithia|Katherine Paterson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1327880087s/2839.jpg|2237401]).

I think the first half is stronger than the second half because Standish is good at building suspense for the reader. Why does Ethan feel guilty? What happened to Kasey? It truly reads like a good mystery, even though it's pretty obvious where it's going.

The second half sort of falls into cliche-ville. Still, overall, it's a solid book with emotional depth and great plotting in the beginning to suck a reader in. (

Ethan and Coralee are two characters I can’t stop thinking about. Their story is so sad and yet hopeful that I wanted them to make it beyond the hurts from their pasts. Ethan’s family has moved in with his grandfather in a small seaside town in Georgia so that Ethan can have a fresh start. Ethan is feeling guilty because of an accident that happened to his best friend. He meets outspoken fun Coralee at school and feels like this friendship is helping him, but Coralee has secrets and tells stories that people say aren’t true. I loved this story with its adventure, and struggles, big and small, that many kids have to deal with. Interwoven in this main story are side stories and characters that come alive too. I can recommend this to older kids and adults. (
