Synopsis

A heart-pounding love story that grips like a riptide, and doesn’t let go… Fifteen-year old Sam has moved from the big city to the coast – stuck there with his mum and sister on the edge of nowhere. Then he meets beautiful but damaged surfer-girl Jade. Soon he’s in love with her, and with surfing itself. But Jade is driven by an obsession: finding and riding a legendary huge wave no one has ever ridden. As the weeks wear on, their relationship barrels forward with the force of a deep-water wave – into a storm, to danger … and to heartbreak.

I actually have no words. Speechless. The author sends you on an amazing journey of a young teenager who has never even swam before in his life, he meets this amazing surfer chick who set a fire in him and he started to surf. It shows you how he grows from a small, London geek to a I-can't-live-with......more

4,5 ster Hoe ik mijn gevoel na dit boek moet omschrijven weet ik niet eens. Het sleepte me mee, trok me onder en liet me niet meer los, net als zo'n monstergolf. Prachtig geschreven, maar wel met 1 echt minpuntje. Een volledige recensie volgt binnenkort op www.thebookdiaries.nl......more
