...I'm going to write it all down, all about Paris and why I broke your heart, and then I'm going to email it to you. It will take you, I don't know, a couple of days to read. So I will be waiting for you at 5 p.m. Friday by the windmill hole of Pirate Golf on Pier One, where we played that one time. If you forgive me, when you're done reading this, come and get me. OK? T hink of this as the most screwed-up love letter ever. So begins Nick Lake's brilliant tour de force romance which introduces readers to Cassie, a New Jersey Shore teen who, over the course of one summer, experiences the exhilarating highs of new love, the frightening free falls of personal demons and family tragedy, and the bumps along the way to forgiveness, acceptance, and self-discovery. Told entirely through flashbacks, readers will savour every moment of Cassie's relationship with a boardwalk boy and race to the last page to discover how it all ends.
