OverviewA wonderful YA debut full of drama for two very different sisters. It's off-season at the Jersey shore, when the boardwalk belongs to the locals. Rosie is 15 and her sister Skate is 16. Their dad, an amiable drunk, is spending a few weeks in jail while their cousin Angie looks after them in their falling-down Victorian on the beach. Skate and her boyfriend Perry are madly in love, inseparable until now, when Perry goes off to Rutgers. Rosie is shyer than Skate, but she s drawn to Nick, a boy in their Alateen group. What happens to Rosie and Skate in a few tumultuous weeks is deftly shaded, complex, and true. Readers will be caught up in each girl s shifting feelings as the story plays out within the embrace of their warmhearted community.
