Publisher Description
"What makes The Ocean in His Veins such incredible lit fic is the writing. I've read thousands of books over the years, and none come close to the visceral reaction I had to this book." – N.N. Light's Book Heaven
He's a surfer. A loner. A man on a quest to rid himself of pesky feelings.
After his grandfather passes away, Cal Prescott begins to see life differently.
Money wants his attention, women beckon, and the pursuit of success becomes a cycle he can't seem to break.
Follow Cal from age sixteen to forty-five, from 1985 to 2014, from the tangerine fields of Ojai to the neon streets of Miami Beach — from being ready to take on the world to hitting the bottom of the sea.
Cal spends half his life waiting for the perfect wave to break over the horizon, looking for comfort, searching for peace — and he'll chase every last drop of water ... until he finds release.

Customer Reviews
Ocean in his veins
I started from other book but Ca is such a complicated character so I started this book to figure out . He definitely is love/hate character.
Did this help ? Yes, gave me different perspective.
I recommend this series, the storyline has a lot of drama, growing up, finding inner self.
Now back to Where the Ocean Meet the Sky.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Who really knows what they want out of life at 16?

I chose to read this book first because I like to follow a timeline and this book takes place before "Where the Ocean Meets the Sky". This book is about Cal's life before he met Annie. It chronicles his relationship with family members and relationships he has throughout his life and how each one effects him. The author says that you may or may not like Cal after reading this book ... everyone will take him differently. I found myself going back and forth ... at times I thought he was arrogant, then I would feel sorry for him, then I would hate him, then I would like him and so on. I found that some of the writing was a bit weird and I didn't get it, but it didn't hinter the story. I can't wait to read the next book and see how he handles himself with Annie.
