"THE GREATEST TRICK TO TALKING IS LISTENING"
Wave by wave the turquoise waters crash into the shore. Sparks of white erupt like an explosion of crystal shards.
Crystal Gail was always mesmerised by these waters, there seemed to be some kind of strong connection between them, a connection that held her together. A connection that blurred reality into surreal thoughts.
She found it easier to just contain all her problems into a container not big enough for her emotions and stuff it into the back of her mind rather then facing it and accepting.
With the sands that just seem to be holding her up crumbling down, she has to try and appease her mind. She has to build up courage and just do it.
But the only question stopping her is: how?
With a hint of romance, a pinch of neglect and a hard time full of regrets, she tries to piece together her life as best as she can just to savour the normality of it.
This is definitely not your average cliche book, because Wave by Wave, Crystal is to be drowned by a tsunami of emotions.
