Publisher's summary

A powerful story of loss, second chances, and first love, reminiscent of Sarah Dessen and John Green. When Oakley Nelson loses her older brother, Lucas, to cancer, she thinks she'll never recover. Between her parents' arguing and the battle she's fighting with depression, she feels nothing inside but a hollow emptiness. When Mom suggests they spend a few months in California with Aunt Jo, Oakley isn't sure a change of scenery will alter anything, but she's willing to give it a try. In California, Oakley discovers a sort of safety and freedom in Aunt Jo's beach house. Once they're settled, Mom hands her a notebook full of letters addressed to her - from Lucas. As Oakley reads one each day, she realizes how much he loved her, and each letter challenges her to be better and to continue to enjoy her life. He wants her to move on. If only it were that easy. But then a surfer named Carson comes into her life, and Oakley is blindsided. He makes her feel again. As she lets him in, she is surprised by how much she cares for him, and that's when things get complicated. How can she fall in love and be happy when Lucas never got the chance to do those very same things? With her brother's dying words as guidance, Oakley knows she must learn to listen and trust again. But will she have to leave the past behind to find happiness in the future?

It’s a good teen read.

It helped to read the reviews ahead to know this was a teen read but I enjoyed it anyway as I like to write in this genre as well. Good story. The narrator struggled with different voices but did well on the main character. I would recommend for teenager and moms / parents of teens because I think it does give some good insight.

LOVE this book!!!😍

The reason I gave this book a perfect rating was because there was always something going on and the way the author tells everything in detail helps you understand the emotions of the characters. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes romance and action all in one book!!! Positively one of my favorites!

many tears were shed

This was such a beautiful story of grief, loss, love and strength. I couldn't put it down. Tears were shed. I may have ugly cried once or twice.

Meh 🫤

I liked it pretty good. Lucas was my favorite character but you know he’s dead during the whole thing. I liked the narrator I feel like it fell a little short

Absolutely loved

I wish I was joking when I say I’ve read this book a million times. I first read this book in my early middle school years, I seriously could not put it down. I found out one of my old schoolmates aunt actually wrote it. After years of reading many stories I came back onto this book when I was 19 and decided to listen to it here on audible, I was happy to see it was free. It brought back so many memories and the feeling of reading it for the first time. I absolutely adore this book and it’s definitely my comfort book.

Beautiful heartfelt story

This was a beautiful story. It had my emotions going 360. The storyline was so good! I finished it in one day because I did not want to stop it. Great for light and summer read.

Emotional and beautiful

This book was beautiful and emotional. I laughed and cried and didn’t want it to end. You fall in love with the characters and cheer for them throughout the book. The voice actress also did a great job portraying the main character!
