Cassie is writing a letter to the boy whose heart she broke. She’s trying to explain why. Why she pushed him away. Why her father got so angry when he saw them together. Why she disappears some nights. Why she won’t let herself remember what happened that long-ago night on the boardwalk. Why she fell apart so completely. Desperate for his forgiveness, she’s telling the whole story of the summer she nearly lost herself. She’s hoping he’ll understand as well as she now does how love—love for your family, love for that person who makes your heart beat faster, and love for yourself—can save you after all.

0 0Having worked in mental health and studied psychology, I found this book fascinating. This book was written in an interesting style. This book really surprised . Trauma leaves an imprint on every person. The way in which and the extent to which it effects us is very individual.
This story about a young woman who lost her mother in a tragic way and then experienced a second trauma as a teenager.
One summer changed her life and in trying to hide her difficulties, she makes a mess she's trying to reticule.
It is an unusual read but a good one.
