I loved this book! I'm officially a Jennifer Echols fan-girl!
Zoey is a senior in high school on the swim team. Her father owns a water-park called Slide with Clyde(Zoey's father) where she works every summer with her swim teammates. This is where she first hears that her father has impregnated his twenty-four year old girlfriend, Ashley a water park employee. Zoey and her mother move out of their house on the beach to an apartment. Ashley and her father will now be living at the house. Zoey notices her mother becoming more and more depressed and finally she walks in to find that her mother has overdosed. Zoey was in time to save her and she gets taken to the emergency room where they decide to commit her to the "looney bin" as her father so tactfully puts it.
As a witness to all this, in the emergency room is handsome bad-boy Doug Fox, a swim teammate and hater on Zoey. His older brother was one of the police responders to the 911 call on Zoey's mother and Doug is bringing him food. Zoey's father threatens her not to tell anyone about her mother, she could ruin her mother's career, but more than that he doesn't want the embarrassment of other people knowing. Zoey is terrified that Doug will spread this news around to embarrass her but surprisingly he tells no one.
That same night Zoey decides to go to a beach party, she doesn't just want to go home and be alone with her thoughts. There she decides is as good a time as any to lose her virginity to her friend Brandon, football player at her school.
One night, after a football game, Zoey gets into a car crash and can't remember anything from the night before. Just being at the game and getting into a fight with Doug. She remembers Doug pulling her from the car and cradling her after the accident but nothing else. All of a sudden Doug acts like something has happened between them and her boyfriend Brandon starts avoiding her.
Jennifer Echols does such a great job building up relationships and tension! I loved, loved, loved this book! You really fall in love with her flawed characters. Zoey is reeling from all her family drama and probably from growing up with such a self-absorbed father (what a jerk!) You feel like she's trying so hard to keep it together, yet she makes a few pretty stupid choices. I couldn't believe she took so long to really wake up to Brandon after he spent the summer confiding in her about all his girlfriends. I also loved Doug *sigh*, he had his own problems but was so caring about Zoey.
There was a lot of humor, even dealing with some heavy issues and a lot of swoon worthy romance! An amazing book!
