📖 About the Book:
Fifteen-year-old Morgan is desperate to escape her small island life and the secrets she hides, including her desire to kiss another girl. When she's saved from drowning by the mysterious Keltie, the two become friends and eventually fall in love, bringing all their hidden truths to the surface.
🤔 Review:
This was a truly beautiful book about a girl hiding her true self because she fears what her friends and family will think. Morgan's internal struggle was heartbreaking, but watching her come to accept herself and the freedom that followed was incredibly moving. Keltie and Morgan were absolutely adorable together, and I loved Keltie's simple, carefree outlook on life.
The illustrations were stunning and added so much charm to the overall story. While I was initially annoyed at Morgan's friends, they redeem themselves in the end, though I felt the ending was a bit rushed. I would love to see a sequel, but for now, we'll have to accept the ending. I hope everything works out for Morgan and Keltie.
