She loves surfing, she is supportive of Oliver, and she’s not an academic superstar, but she didn’t come off the page for me. The kidnapping elements of this novel are very well developed and Oliver in particular is realistically depicted, and if the heroine and romance are somewhat generic, the novel was still an enjoyable read.Įmmy is a fairly standard first person teen narrator. Oliver’s shocking return, while wonderful on the surface, proves to be more complicated for all parties concerned than anyone is prepared for. Emmy is still defined as “the best friend of the kidnapped boy,” even to her overprotective parents, from whom she hides her passion for surfing.
When Oliver’s father kidnapped him in second grade, it shattered the neighborhood Oliver left behind.
