When Iris decides to try for her own surfing success, just as her ex-boyfriend comes back into her life, she will test her talent, and her feelings for Zeke, to the limit...
REVIEW
Ok, I have to say it, please don't be put off with the cover - unless half naked boys are how you choose your books ;) - because this story is very original and engaging.
Iris is a wonderful character, she knows her own mind and is inspiring as she is not afraid to try new things and fight for what she believes in. The main two points of the plot (very simply put!) are the romance element and Iris entering a surfing contest - I know nothing about Surfing and thought this might put me off, it didn't, what it did was transport me into a world I'd never experienced and made me feel as if I was there with her. The romance element was fab and really interesting to see how it developed and how she dealt with the issues that arose.
The end was so unexpected I felt like I was holding my breath! I can't wait for more from Lisa.
- Gem.
