(4) YA Jude's summer job at the beach enables a romance with Becka and triggers memories of his sister's death years before. When tragedy strikes a second time, he's barely able to manage. Preller's convincing portrait of an adolescent struggling with loss is hindered at times by excessive narration and a constant barrage of pop-culture references that will quickly date the novel.
