Publisher Description
Summer. Secrets. Sun-soaked mistakes... and the one boy who could ruin everything.
This was supposed to be my last summer of freedom before senior year. Three weeks away, then back home for pool days, late-night drives, and every plan my friends and I had already made.
Instead, my parents ship me across the country for the entire summer with two suitcases, zero warning, and a part-time job I never asked for. Their excuse? Grown-up problems they won't explain. So now I'm stuck in Feather Lake, North Carolina-supposedly getting closure, definitely missing out, and completely in the dark about what everyone's hiding.
Then there's Ryder Monroe: local heartthrob, professional menace, and exactly the kind of trouble I don't need.
He's infuriating, impossible to read, and somehow always where I don't want him to be. I swore I wouldn't fall for the brooding boy with the crooked smile and too many secrets. But from the second Ryder crashes into my life, nothing stays simple.
Now I'm caught between the guy who feels like sunshine and safety... and the one who feels like a storm I know better than to chase.
Ryder says he wants me gone. I tell myself I don't care. But the more we clash, the harder it is to ignore what's happening between us.
Because the worst thing Ryder Monroe can do isn't ruin my summer. It's make me feel again.
Cast Away is book one in the Wrecked series—a YA coming-of-age romance full of secrets, rivalry, banter, and a summer that changes everything.
Customer Reviews
Start of a new young adult series - ending with a cliffhanger!
…so, before you dive in, know that this is just book one and ends with a cliffhanger!
I love Emmanuelle Snow and everything she writes. Most of her books are adult romance (heavily emotional with very deep themes), but this one is young adult. Part one is the introduction of the characters and the world of Feather Lake, NC, where Ava is “Cast Away” by her parents (to go spend the summer with her Aunt and Uncle in her own hometown), meets Joseph on the bus on the way to move in with his dad and new stepmom, and they strike up a friendship.
Her summer is to be working at her uncle’s shop, learning small business, but she meets his employee Ryder - her new enemy, but someone her aunt and uncle have taken under their wing like a son… so she has to see a lot of the guy and play fake friends.
Spending the summer as fake friends (but enemies) with Ryder and friends, trying to date Joseph from the neighboring town is starting off as an interesting love triangle storyline - I can’t wait to see where the storyline goes and what plans Emmanuelle has in store for where she’s taking us on what is sure to be a very emotional roller coaster! I have several theories that I need to find out if they’re right or not!
Thanks for the advance copy, Emmanuelle! Looking forward to the next book (ugh, cliffhangers)!
