Khalil Jamari knows the tides, the tourists, and exactly how far he can push his brothers before Mama steps in. As the oldest of four boys growing up behind their family's struggling surf shop, Khalil spends his summers catching clean waves, working the register, and keeping Julian, Maurice, and Cedric close-even when he's usually the reason one of them needs rescuing. But money is tight, the boys are growing, and every coastal summer carries them a little closer to the day their familiar life begins to change. Countdown of the Coastal Summers is a warm, funny story about brotherhood, surfing, family, and the promises that make a place feel like home.

Honestly, it was all Zayn's fault I'm ignored by my parents. It's his fault that I'm depressed. He was the one to captivate our parents' attention by just creating one single antic. It was his fault my dads don't know all my problems, and basically anything happening in my life. It has been exactly like this for about a year or two, I should say I'm used to it by now. But in all reality, it's the complete opposite. Why did he have to be born? If he weren't born, I wouldn't be like this, our family wouldn't be how it is today. We would all be happy, continuously speaking nicely to one another just like any other 'normal' family would. It's Zayn's fault I started cutting my own skin. It was his fault I don't feel loved by my Dad and Papa, nor anyone for that matter. It's all Zayn's fault..
