What it really means is that I am, and have always been, second.Ben and Grace Walker are twins. Growing up in a sleepy coastal town it was inevitable they'd surf. Always close, they hung out more than most brothers and sisters, surfing together for hours as the sun melted into the sea. At seventeen, Ben is a rising surf star, the golden son and the boy all the girls fall in love with. Beside him, Grace feels like she is a mere reflection of his light. In their last year of school, the world beckons, full of possibility. For Grace, finishing exams and kissing Harley Matthews is just the beginning.Then, one day, the unthinkable. The sun sets at noon and suddenly everything that was safe and predictable is lost. And everything unravels. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

The main protagonist, Grace, annoyed me from the start. She was too passive for my liking and was constantly comparing herself to either her twin, Ben, or her best friend, Mia. I also wasn't impressed with how she dealt with the tragic event that shattered her world., even though I did sympathise with her debilitating pain and loss. Her self-destruction included smoking, drug use, school truancy and blatant rudeness which, for me, make Grace very unlikeable.
Then there were her parents. They could easily have won the Worst Parents of the Year award. I was disgusted with their behaviour, especially towards Grace. It was hard to believe that Ben was their son. He was so sweet and down-to-earth, and had a wonderful relationship with his sister. The way he treated Mia and the fact he was a great cook also made him extremely appealing.
Despite a very slow plot, I did like that "Breathing Under Water" was set in Australia and the author's descriptions of the ocean were delightful, but the story never really won me over. (
