Jena describes her vacation at a Caribbean island resort where her life intersects with three other teens--her family friend Skye and brothers Dakota and Owen, each of whom narrates his or her own story. Mackler constructs four distinct protagonists; though each section stands alone, the book's appeal lies in the tracing of its characters' "tangled" lives.
