A lot of mistakes that needed to be clarified and discussed weren't or dealt with an abundance of immaturity.

A surprise that came out of nowhere which was well done, Fitzpatrick! Was not a huge fan of the classic teenage-fiction premise where an incident is not further delved into at the time, snowballing until it is confronted later by the main teens- which is the crux of this story. Was not pleased by the so-called fatherly advice but glad to see Gwen making a stand for herself and doing the right thing, even though it was difficult.

A slow history of past hurts are revealed with flashbacks from the Polar Bear Plunge and through characters such as the womanising Spence. Enjoyed being part of this vivid summer adventure with the Bronco, octogenarians and a funny interlude with adult novel excerpts, time in the water and on land also as the dubbed Jose and Maria summer workers by old Mrs Patridge. A major problem this summer is the ubiquitous presence of Cass as the surprising new yard boy whom she had an inconclusive history with while managing her new summer job as Mrs Ellington's companion and complicated family issues with her son Henry. This includes the return of the particular Robinson family and their son Gwen had a brief liaison with. Every summer revitalises the island destination by bringing the vacation-ing wealthy summer people. more pplemented by Vivien- her catering, crazy driving best friend who is with Nic. Her young father has recently moved out but manages his family Castle's Ice cream business which she sometimes helps with. She lives with her young house-cleaning mother, Fabio their ancient dog, eight year old brother Emory with adjustment issues, lobster-catching, Grandpa Ben and Coast Guard academy ambitious, fitness freak cousin Nic.

Stayed up till 3am finishing it.This story focuses on the half-Portugese girl Gwen whose family are a year-round resident of Seashell Island in New England on the Connecticut coast. Initially found it quite hard to get into but once you got past the first few chapters that set the scene, it became very intriguing. Review 1: Quite a different novel from Huntley Fitzpatrick after 'My Life next door' - but still an enjoyable one.
