"What if your town was sliding underwater and everyone was ordered to pack up and leave? How would you and your friends spend your last days together?
While the adults plan for the future, box up their possessions, and find new places to live, Keeley Hewitt and her friends decide to go out with a bang. There are parties in abandoned houses. Canoe races down Main Street. The goal is to make the most of every minute they still have together.
And for Keeley, that means taking one last shot at the boy she’s loved forever. There’s a weird sort of bravery that comes from knowing there’s nothing left to lose. You might do things you normally wouldn’t. Or say things you shouldn’t. The reward almost always outweighs the risk.
Almost.
It’s the end of Aberdeen, but the beginning of Keeley’s first love story. It just might not turn out the way she thought. Because it’s not always clear what’s worth fighting for and what you should let become a memory." -- From Goodreads
Will you like it?
I really liked this book. The town of Aberdeen is going underwater and everyone is dealing with it in different ways. I really liked that the main character, Keeley, had to grow up a lot. She started out the story very immature, and then when people started to leave she needed to deal with that. Honestly, this story felt very true and not forced at all.
Disclosure: I received a digital galley of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
