Book Review: Sea Change by Amiee Friedman

Synopsis:

16-year-old Miranda Merchant is great at science…and not so great with boys. After major drama with her boyfriend and (now ex) best friend, she’s happy to spend the summer on small, mysterious Selkie Island, helping her mother sort out her late grandmother’s estate.

There, Miranda finds new friends and an island with a mysterious, mystical history, presenting her with facts her logical, scientific mind can’t make sense of. She also meets Leo, who challenges everything she thought she knew about boys, friendship…and reality.

Is Leo hiding something? Or is he something that she never could have imagined?

Girlcamploo’s Review:

Very cute! It only took me a few days to read (which is fast for me!). I enjoyed a fresh-breath of air from the whole vampire scene with Sea Change’s journey into the Water World! It was slightly predictable as far as the romance goes – all girls love their bad boys! But the story as a whole was fresh and interesting.

The story takes place on Seklie Island which is just a bunch of rich peoples’ summer homes and you’re instantly thrust into the yuppie, high-society life that will leave your former stereotypes in the dust.

I’m only hoping, though, that Aimee Friedman writes a sequel and soon because there’s still SO much to happen and discover. I was left a little unsatisfied at the end still wondering, “Well?!”

It’s sure to be a quick and delightful read for any Twilight fan!
