A Wave to Ride is a coming-of-age Novel about my struggle into adulthood. Growing up in a modern society where I found solace and a place of retreat online on Instagram. Where my love of dressing up as celebrities grew me an audience of a million. I thought I was on top of the world at the age of 17, only to find my life and home to come crashing down, like the relentless waves. Soon I would find myself in the clutches of a horrible depressive state in the backseat of my car, exposed to the elements of abuse and desperation. A toxic cocktail of dark thoughts seemed to be creeping up on me, drowning out my cries to the world. C. All Rights Reserved, 26 Publishing, LLC.

It was Rory’s Grandma that made the two predictions; the day of her own death, and the day Rory would die. Nobody really takes Grandma seriously – that is, until she suddenly passes away on the exact date she’s predicted. In a fit of panic, Rory decides to embark on a bizarre, crazed mission to live life to the full. Together with her friends, she throws the rulebook out of the window and tastes what the world has to offer; excessively wild nights, malicious revenge plans, and arrogant, beautiful boys. Rory thinks she has nothing to lose. But her family is slowly starting to crumble, and her friends are getting sick of her reckless attitude. There’s only so long she can party before the terror of her deathday rolls around. Rory has to choose between bowing out disgracefully, with her name seared into the town’s memory – or fighting the out-of-control girl she’s become before it’s too late.
