This is the second book I’ve reviewed from Leslea Wahl and once again I am pleased by the story. By the end, however, she realizes that high school is just a small piece of the big picture, that everyone is not how they seem, and God has a plan for all of us. In the beginning, Josie is concerned only for herself, focused on how others treat her and how her mother has ruined her. This story is a wonderful and very appropriate coming of age story for teens today. Big things happen, however, that change her heart, help her focus on solving the crimes, and aid in a tremendous growth in maturity for Josie. Josie agrees to work with Ryan to try to figure out who is committing the crimes, but she puts in little effort as she is infatuated with Niko and annoyed by Ryan. The story continues with a string of burglaries that are happening around the island. She is afraid he is there to continue the bullying begun by his friends at school, and is shocked to find that he wants to be her friend.
Unfortunately, someone from her high school is also there, Ryan McNaulty. Josie loves the small island where her aunt lives and she is able to quickly make friends with people while there including an incredibly handsome and exotic guy named Niko. Since, in her mind, her mother has caused the bullying, Josie is happy to get away. Sixteen-year old-Josie has left her family to spend the summer with her Aunt Lily after some embarrassment and bullying at her high school. “The most beautiful and stirring adventure that can happen to you is the personal meeting with Jesus, who is the only one who gives meaning to our lives.”–St.
