I really enjoyed reading this book. It read quickly and kept you turning pages.

The story takes place in a little town in California. There is a family that when the story starts are the only black family and then across the start a new black family moves in. The new family is only a mom and daughter. The other family is a daughter and her two dads. They become friends even though they are nothing a like. Alberta is from the other family that has live in the town since she can remember and Edie is from New York and dealing with the divorce of her parents. Al loves to surf and her best friend is going through some issues and so she starts to hang out with Edie which she is excited about. Edie misses her dad and is learning how to deal with this loss. Edie finds some old journals in the attic of her new home and she invites Al over to read them. There is a mystery about these journals. What is in the journals and what is the mystery about them? You have to read the book to find out.

I had a blast reading this book and gave it 5 stars. I highly recommend that you read it.
