review 1: Here is another book with the ocean side setting that I love. In this book, Alex is a scuba diver which honestly scares me! I've never done that because I've only been snorkeling and I almost hyperventilated doing that! Alex goes scuba diving one day and ends up saving a man that got himself caught in fishing line and was going to die. (see? That's exactly why I should never scuba dive!) Alex doesn't want anyone to know she saved the man because her mother would be furious and take away her scuba gear. Alex's mother is deathly afraid of her scuba diving. The relationship between Alex and her mother is interesting. We see how over time Alex has taken over the responsibility while her mom becomes more and more dependent and unwilling to do so many things herself. I... moret's a tricky situation and Alex grows increasingly frustrated and dissatisfied but she doesn't really know how to change things. I think the thing I liked the best about this book was how all the problems or challenges in this book were not overcome alone, but because of other people helping each other. Alex wants things to change but it is because of other people helping her that she achieves her goals. I enjoyed reading this book. The setting was awesome and Alex was a great main character. My thanks to RABT for allowing me to be a part of this blog tour.Content: There is some mild swearing, profanity and some sexual situations.
review 2: I wished I could of connected with the main character, but I just couldn't.No, matter how many extra side stories that were brought in with Zack, Jeremy, Lester and even Chris...I just found Alex...... ANNOYING!!!!I mean, the girl is turning eighteen!!!! She can't talk to her mother, has to wake her mother up in the morning, has to basically do everything for her mother....You would think it's a nursing home!It's takes her mom burning down a good part of the house for her mother to wake up and that wasn't until half way through the book!!!I honestly don't know one teenager that wouldn't rebel.I guess the end was truly the irony of the whole story....her part-time job. less
