Reminiscent of the Netflix television series Outer Banks, this is a mystery shrouded in history, wrapped up with a love story.”—School Library Journal (⭐starred review)
“Lili’s and Wren’s alternating first-person perspectives grapple thoughtfully with grief and romantic dilemmas. Sweet and insightful.”—Kirkus Reviews
“[A] sensorial grumpy-sunshine love story set on Nantucket. The teens’ interest in local lore—and Lili’s uncanny ability to charm Wren out of his perpetual crankiness—first sparks amiable companionship, then sunny romance, conveyed via lively prose. Alluring history about Nantucket’s maritime roots and its bustling present-day tourist scene enliven the idyllic seaside setting.”—Publishers Weekly
“The slowly progressing romance between the two is centered in the narrative, but the topics of disability (Wren uses a wheelchair), grief, and the importance of family are also highlighted. Wren’s existing relationship with his high-school girlfriend is handled with nuance and empathy. A fun read for those who want a strong plot to go along with the smooching.”—Booklist](https://scontent-sjc6-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/682725739_18463044826102064_6856789565128301795_n.webp?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=104&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=18de74&efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiQ0FST1VTRUxfSVRFTS5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&_nc_ohc=Q8zhikDeWvYQ7kNvwGVlmje&_nc_oc=AdraivqYcpI-XVcpq0X64SJmC1aOINTetxV-q6dqKg9-QjHR_NsmLreZcv6wbUvj3Dw&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-sjc6-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=AcgHBHIkWe-WcnORzxGFfw&_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQEYTWKfoWYnaLv90a3MQpmu3EdLF6Ufu_YtD59Kf67HgfWX22WRxnHcsPYd1-UYDRAiG2rKADnN&oh=00_Af1up3AptdhpdWE_OVotZkPVZbCoJoT5H33k3LIA2Te4Ng&oe=69F879F6)
