This is a coming of age novel. The main character, Willow, feels alone and out of place on a tiny island her family has moved to.  I could really feel for Willow and how she felt out of place in a new town without her old friends. The author did a good job of describing how she felt moving away from the only place she ever knew. When she meets Michael, it is very brief.  When they later began to talk and develop a relationship, I felt that there was no real basis for the depth of emotions they felt, when they barely knew each other.  The author really missed the boat when it came to developing their relationship and Michael as a character.  To me,  Michael was secondary in Willow's story and Willow trying to fit in, was the real basis of the novel.  The author did a great job of showing how important choosing your friends can be and how you can end up in bad situations when you make poor choices. Three stars, it was just okay for me.I received this book for free and this is my honest review.
