I was scared that Alana and Sara – Beyah’s step-mother and step-sister – were going to be unlikable characters, but I’m glad Colleen took the other route.

I loved the all the characters in this book. Weirdly enough this book reminded me of “It ends with us”, also by Colleen Hoover. What Beyah doesn’t realize is that a rip current is coming, and it’s about to drag her heart out to sea

With an almost immediate connection too intense for them to continue denying, Beyah and Samson agree to stay in the shallow end of a summer fling. But one thing they do have in common is that they’re both drawn to sad things. She comes from a life of poverty and neglect he comes from a family of wealth and privilege. Samson and Beyah have nothing in common on the surface. Beyah’s plan is to keep her head down and let the summer slip by seamlessly, but her new neighbor Samson throws a wrench in that plan. Forced to reach out to her last resort, Beyah has to spend the remainder of her summer on a peninsula in Texas with a father she barely knows. With only two short months separating her from the future she’s built and the past she desperately wants to leave behind, an unexpected death leaves Beyah with no place to go during the interim. After carving her path all on her own, Beyah is well on her way to bigger and better things, thanks to no one but herself. Too bad neither has any idea that a rip current is about to drag both their hearts out to sea.Life and a dismal last name are the only two things Beyah Grim’s parents ever gave her.
