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?

This novel is one of the best I have ever read. Chantele Sedgwick does a marvelous job making it lifelike, making you feel and react to situations as if you were there. It is a very emotional book, but has humorous sections to balance it out. Many valuable life lessons are provided through letters written by the protagonist's deceased brother. I have a new favorite book!

Big thanks to Sky Pony Press and Edelweiss for an ARC copy for review. This was a very genuine and touching novel. A story about young girl named Oakley, who is grieving from the recent loss of her older brother, Lucas from cancer. There is the devastation, heartbreak, and loneliness when losing a loved one, but this also shows the hope and healing that comes from the most unlikely of places. I thought Chantele did a wonderful job handling such a sensitive topic. I adored Oakley's character.

Parts of this book were pretty cheesy in my opinion, but it also was maybe a bit therapeutic -- or it could be for young people who have suffered loss and are trying to get through it. The book still made me cry, but the story was a little too far beyond believable. It was an ok book, and one I'd recommend to my middle school students.
