Always find underwater settings fascinating. This series is especially interesting and has many original aspects to the setting and plot. Read nonstop, purchased next book and again read nonstop. Have just added third book. There is a prequel, but may not purchase.

Push Me, Pull me is an interesting and well-written story about Ruby, a teen girl who is left to pick up the pieces after her mother's suicide. With a dad with a drinking problem, and a little brother to take care of, Ruby doesn't have much time to focus on her own social life, but that changes when the sexy and mysterious Byron comes to town. He appears to have his own secrets and demons to deal with, but the two are attracted to each other, and despite the fact that they both have a lot on their plate, they can't seem to stay away from each other.

I can't say too much without giving away spoilers, but I will say that I'm a major sucker for stories like this. I enjoyed the way Ruby grew and changed throughout the story, especially how she handled her relationships to the various supporting characters, including best-friend Martin, and local eccentric Mrs. Patfield, whom she was a bit closed minded and judgmental toward at first (as a teen naturally would be) but opened up to later.

This was a good book about being open to love and support from others while handling some of life's most brutal challenges. I look forward to checking out more from Vanessa Garden!… (plus d'informations)
