Summary: Skye Davis is in a rut, and she knows it. It had made sense to return home after college graduation - but she hadn't expected to spend more than a year running her parents' business. But a devastating event - and Skye's reactions to it - separated her from everything and everyone that had once mattered. In one stroke, Skye's outlook on life had been completely altered.
Feeling stranded in Santa Cruz, California, Skye allowed her best friend Scarlett to talk her into creating an online journal. Skye was skeptical, but the timing couldn't have been better. When her younger brother comes home for the summer and brings along his friend Greg Blevins, Skye finds herself with only her online friends to confide in.
As Skye is forced to cope with distracting emotions, meddling relatives, maddening friends, and a mysterious benefactor, the memories and pain of the past threaten to overwhelm her. Faced with the truth of what she has become, the wall that she had so carefully built around her heart starts to crumble. But when the wall falls to the ground, will it crush Skye for good - or set her free? (From http://www.rowlandweb.com/books)
Review: I had lots of fun reading this book. First of all because it's simply a good plot, and one I can easily relate to. Secondly because a lot of it is in blog form, which I always enjoy (blog, journal, letters etc.). Thirdly because I had a small part in writing this book! When![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
krikketgirl was writing it, she called for volunteers who'd read Skye's blog and reply to it as if it were a real blog. Obviously I volunteered, and several of my comments were included - verbatim - in the book! You would not believe the thrill it gave me to see my name under "Acknowledgements" and to read words I'd written in an actual, published book!. Wow :-D I highly recommend this book to others. I found it very easy to relate to Skye and even learned some truths about myself along the way. Well done, Kat.
