ISLAND BREEZES
She has some major issues. He calls the girl Crash, and I’m not going to tell you why. You’ll have to read the book to find out.
On top of her ADHS, she has to deal with her bipolar mother while trying to hide both these illnesses from others. Then her “dead” father pops up and she ends up being stuck in Florida with the guy.
During her trip to Florida, she has “the book” thrust upon her by an old geezer in the airport waiting area.
RL once again enters the life of a teen girl trying to deal with life’s issues. I guess I shouldn’t say once again. This book is actually the first in the Real Life series. I read it second, but it really doesn’t make that much difference. Each book stands on it own.
BTW, the pages didn’t flutter for Jessie. If you want to know what that means, you need to read the second book.
