I know this is where I probably should tell you what my story is about. And I could... but I'd rather keep it a secret and let you discover it yourself. Some stories are better unraveled slowly, page by page. All I'll say is this: salty air, whispered secrets, danger rolling in like a storm, friends who stick by you, grief you can't escape... and maybe some love sneaking in. It feels a bit like Outer Banks I think, but hopefully not so much that it comes across as copying. Also... don't expect a perfect, happy ending. There are wins, sure, but there are losses too. Life isn't that simple. If you give it a chance and start reading, thank you. And if you stick with it all the way to the end and got stuck with me and my characters, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it-well, most of it anyway, excluding the frustrating days and moments I hated everything. »PS: English isn't my first language, so if you notice mistakes... no, you didn't. I tried not to make them I promise.
