“Readers looking for light romance will enjoy Colasanti’s depiction of a long-distance relationship that beats the odds.”—Publishers Weekly
The odds were against them.
When Seth starts talking to Skye at the last beach party of the summer, their attraction is undeniable, and deep down they both know this could be more than just a fling. Then Seth leaves for college before they exchange contact info, and Skye begins to doubt if he ever had feelings for her at all. More importantly, she wonders if she’ll ever see him again. But even if they did find a way back to each other, how can their relationship work when their differences keep getting in the way?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Readers looking for light romance will enjoy Colasanti's (Keep Holding On) depiction of a long-distance relationship that beats the odds, even before it's officially a relationship. After meeting on the beach, Skye, a privileged high-school student, and Seth, a recent graduate whose father owns a failing roller rink, fall head-over-heels in love, but they part unexpectedly before exchanging contact information. A torturous year of separation ends with a reunion on the same beach, and it appears that distance has made the couple's hearts grow fonder. They immediately make plans to visit each other on weekends while Seth attends college in Philadelphia. What follows is a fairly predictable account of tested passion as Skye and Seth overcome hurdles to stay together. Although the two characters are well-defined, what they have in common is as vague as their understanding of each other. Seth never unloads the emotional baggage he carries about his parents' separation and his fears about his own future, while Skye remains preoccupied with concerns about her friends throughout most of the novel. Ages 12 up.
