"Morgan didn’t mean to do anything wrong that day. Actually, she meant to do something right. But her kind act inadvertently played a role in a deadly tragedy. In order to move on, Morgan must learn to forgive—first someone who did something that might be unforgivable, and then herself.
But Morgan can’t move on. She can’t even move beyond the front door of the apartment she shares with her mother and little brother. Morgan feels like she’s underwater, unable to surface. Unable to see her friends. Unable to go to school.
When it seems Morgan can’t hold her breath any longer, a new boy moves in next door. Evan reminds her of the salty ocean air and the rush she used to get from swimming. He might be just what she needs to help her reconnect with the world outside."

I loved the slow evolution of Morgan over the entire book. She transitioned slowly from being total recluse to going back to a version of her old normal. Morgan also struggled with father issues, and that also played a huge part in her wanting to become better.
I really liked Evan. He understood what Morgan went through, but didn't take any of her crap. I truly appreciated him standing up for himself. Yes, Morgan was sick but that didn't mean that she needed to treat him like crap. I loved their relationship.
Disclosure: I borrowed this book from my local library.
