About the book
Jen Malone, author of teen novels Wanderlost and Map to the Stars, will take readers to the high seas—literally—in this contemporary YA novel about a girl facing the dissolution of her parents’ marriage, a new romance, and self-discovery while sailing down the Pacific coast.
After concluding that her is to blame for her parents’ recent divorce, Cassandra McClure is hoping to stay as far away from her as possible. With a summer of freedom right around the corner, it shouldn’t be too hard. But when a forty-foot sailboat appears in her driveway and her mom announces that Cassie and her brother Drew will be accompanying her on a four-month sailing trip down to Mexico, Cassie’s plans for the summer go, quite literally, overboard.
Once the three set sail, tensions quickly rise. So meeting Jonah—a gorgeous, whip-smart deckhand—is an unexpected bright spot on an otherwise dim horizon. Though she tries to keep him at a distance—considering the upheaval of her home life—their chemistry is impossible to ignore, and Cassie soon finds herself questioning everything: Should she go for it with Jonah? Can she forgive her mom? Will home ever feel the same? With life’s unpredictable tides working against her, Cassie must decide whether to swim against them, or dive right in.
- Sailing Adventure: Trapped on a forty-foot sailboat for four months, Cassie trades her summer of freedom for a trip down the Pacific coast that will change everything.
- Unexpected Romance: She tries to keep her distance from Jonah, the charming deckhand who seems too good to be true, but their chemistry on the high seas is impossible to deny.
- Heartfelt Family Drama: Forced to confront the mother she blames for her family’s collapse, Cassie must navigate the choppy waters of their relationship in very close quarters.
- A Journey of Forgiveness: More than just a trip to Mexico, this is a story about learning to forgive, finding yourself, and discovering that home isn’t always a place.
