Ms. Rabe is a fine writer.
She knows how to hit all the right points of the story at the right time and has set up the love triangle well.
It's hard to do YA romance well, and Ms. Rabe nails it. Solid writing of the characters and their emotions both pure and twisted.
Mariana has three goals for the summer.
- Take care of Abuela
- Save money for college
- Forget what happened last night
Seventeen-year-old Mariana Rodriguez is devastated when her best friend and long-time crush, Dennis, chooses to date her tormentor over her. She plunges into work at her uncle’s dive shop, determined to sink her feelings for Dennis. When the new employee, Sam, shows interest in her, Mariana feels like she’s found the perfect springboard to moving on.
After both the shop and her abuela's house are vandalized, Mariana can't help but suspect that the two events are connected. She reluctantly calls on the one person who can help her, but allowing Dennis back into her life only makes her feelings for Sam murky.
To protect her family from financial ruin, Mariana must decide who to trust. And with any luck, she'll get her chance at true love along the way.
