Anise is a true surfer girl. She does look forward to spending the whole summer with her surfer friends at the beach in Santa Cruz. But then her father announces that her aunt, who is a single mom, has had an accident and needs their help. So for that summer they move to her aunts house in Nebraska.
Gone are the amazing fun plans she had with her friends on the beach! Instead of that, she has to take care of her nephew and cousin. Well..that is a great way to spend the summer...not.
But then she meets Lincoln. A skater who is missing one arm but he is so nice to her, and very charming. She slowly loses touch with her friends back in Santa Cruz, as Nebraska gives her new friends, family bonds and quite some more adventures than she had expected.
What a nice read! I hear quite some buzz around this book, but sadly it was not about the book but just a lot of nasty stuff around it. Seriously...I don't get it. Just give this book a try!!
I really enjoyed reading it. Altough I didn't think it was the most original YA story out there, it was good and well written. I really wanted a book to escape with as I am going trough some health stuff again (to the author: Hi fellow spoonie! ;) ) and this was just the perfect fit. I really liked the storyline. What is worse as a teen to be flown away from your friends to a dull place where you have to do chores you don't want? The main character Anise just makes the best of it though, and Nebraska opens a new life for her. The bond between her and Lincoln was so cute!! He really was a good guy and a perfect match! I loved how the plot went into so many unexpected directions.Girl Out of Water is the debut novel of Laura Silverman and this book made me very curious for her next books.
A very well written and good new YA novel, really enjoyed it and it is a perfect read for this spring!
