YA
Clara and her father rent a summer house on the seashore to escape Clara's pathologically possessive stalker ex-boyfriend. The insightful first-person narrative eloquently articulates Clara's thoughts and emotions, and the oceanfront setting is a picturesque stage on which she sorts through the complexities of romantic attachments--both how they can go horribly wrong and how they can nurture and sustain her.
