Nice way to begin a chilly 4th of July. It even had fireworks! This is a definite re-read book. I enjoy Kade's writing style. He was really good at painting character portraits. He brought them alive to the reader. You make connections with them. Feeling their joy, pain, anger, surprise, hope, heartbreak and confusion. The course of love and life is so tumultuous and people have to make choices. You can sink or swim or remain stuck in place...dog paddling. These characters stir your emotions. You'll find yourself wanting to shake some sense into one or scream in frustration. There are poignant moments that evoke tears. Then joyous. This is a great beach book. If you loved playing in the mud you'll enjoy this book. If you're a fan of likeable little kids or big closeted switch hitters that maybe a V8 smack to the head might clue him in this story is for you. Give it a chance you won't be disappointed.
