(4) YA After Lorna is swept into the ocean off Cape Cod during a storm, her best friends--Jackie, boyfriend Finn, and Lucas--are shattered. Narrator Jackie's grief is initially well developed, as is the mystery surrounding the tragedy. However, after a mid-point twist, this uneven story devolves into soap-opera territory. Wittlinger's affectionate, vivid portrayal of the Provincetown community is the book's highlight.
