Since her twin brother, Eddie, drowned five years ago, sixteen-year-old Elsie Main has tried to remember what really happened that fateful day on the beach. One minute Eddie was there, and the next he was gone. Misunderstood at home and at school, Elsie retreats to her favorite hideout, and abandoned boathouse, where she meets Tay McKenzie, a charismatic and mysterious boy who attends, as he calls it, "the school of life." Tay and his friends are freedivers, and Elsie convinces him to teach her the sport. There, in the depths of the North Sea, Elsie uncovers memories of the day Eddie disappeared.

Funny, yet heartbreaking, Sarah Alexander's debut is about love, guilt, and the ties that bind.

ARC April Update: April 11 - 17

Hey, everyone! We are officially past the halfway mark of ARC April, and I can't believe that it's going by so quickly.

So what is ARC April? It's a reading challenge hosted by Shelly and Octavia from Read.Sleep.Repeat. Throughout the month of April, they are challenging book bloggers to read all those ARCs (both old and new) that are on their shelves. They also host a similar event called ARC August.

Waiting on Wednesday (58)

 

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly bookish meme created and hosted by Jill from Breaking the Spine. Each week, bloggers shine the spotlight on upcoming book titles that they are waiting on.

Waiting on Wednesday is one of my favorite memes because I love sharing what books I'm dying for, but I also love seeing other posts around the blogosphere. I usually end up adding ten books to my TBR each week because of this meme.

It's pretty simple to participate in Waiting on Wednesday. All you need to do is:

• Create your own Waiting on Wednesday post that features an upcoming title (or titles)
• Be sure to credit and link back to Jill somewhere in your post
• Add your link to the Linky on Jill's blog so that others can see your post and find out what you want to read
