“There’s a lot of teenage angst, and this is a perfect YA for either a warm summer day or while curled up in the rain wanting to travel to the beach (in your head!)”-–USA TODAY’S Happy Ever After

“Friendship and romance brush cheek to cheek in a story that deals frankly withrace, class, and culture while also managing to wonderfully portray the luminous, dreamlike setting ofHawaii. A perfect complement to the shelves of readers who follow Jenny Han and E. Lockhart.”–Booklist

* “Wryly funny, generous-hearted, garnished with sun, surfing, and shave ice—a genuinely literary beach read.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review 

“A well-paced plot, fully developed and authentic characters, and a multifaceted and integrated setting will pull in reluctant and avid readers, alike. Fans of realistic fiction will eat up the intensity of Lea’s angst as she adjusts to her new lifestyle, new friends, and possible romance . . . VERDICT Recommended purchase for collections where contemporary teen fiction flies off the shelves.”–SLJ
