Summary

Since her twin brother, Eddie, drowned five years ago, 16-year-old Elsie Main has tried to remember what really happened that fateful day on the beach. One minute Eddie was there, and the next he was gone.

Seventeen-year-old Tay McKenzie is a cute and mysterious boy that Elsie meets in her favorite boathouse hangout. When Tay introduces Elsie to the world of freediving, she vows to find the answers she seeks at the bottom of the sea.

Absolutely moving

I thought this book was moving as you see how Elsie goes though so much but still maintains an attitude of determination to find out what really happened that awful day. With all her trouble at school and at home with her family I think she is one amazing young (fictional) girl.
However some of the imagery used in this book isn’t suitable for younger audiences (-12) as this book discusses many sensitive topics including eating disorders
But all in all it was an amazing book so well done and thank you for writing this book!!!!
