I received this book through We Love YA Books ARR.First off I completely adored this story! It was one of those books that you could just curl up on a lazy summer afternoon and read the day away without even realizing it! I also loved the cover and the title! The pier heading out to sea really seemed to reflect the book or at lease I think so. At first I was a little nervous because the first part of the book contained a lot of scenes leading up to the real conflict but the author did a very good job of including Michael in at the most perfect moments in Willow's life. This book is definitely for people (probably mostly teenage girls) who like fun summer reads like Sarah Dessen novels or the like. I found that it was very easy to relate to Willow's character and I thought Tessa's character balanced out the book nicely. Brian's whole back story towards the end was a little rushed but overall summed up nicely. There was one quote by Michael that I particularly liked, "We are all dying, aren't we, Willow, from the very moment we are born?" Overall this book was a very enjoyable read and I would recommend it to anyone!
