About the Book
"Kidd flees from his past and his future. He has neither a mother nor a father, he feels that he does not benefit at all from being in the youth shelter where he lives, other than the therapies he receives there. He also doesn't feel like he's part of the beach community where he works, unless he finds a reason to stay. Olivia is blonde, has blue eyes and a wealthy father. She is the most beautiful girl in Cardiff. She's hiding something from Kidd, but could they ever be together anyway? Devon treats people badly, is mysterious, and driven by a death wish. He is a best friend and a worst enemy at the same time. He followed Kidd to the beach and won't leave until he teaches him some life lessons. And Olivia."--Book Synopsis

No tiene ni mamá ni papá, siente que no le beneficia de nada estar en el hogar de acogida para jóvenes donde vive, más que las terapias que recibe ahí. Tampoco siente que forma parte de la comunidad de la playa donde trabaja, a menos que encuentre una razón para quedarse.Olivia es rubia, tiene ojos azules y un padre adinerado. Es la chica más guapa de Cardiff. Ella le oculta algo a Kidd, pero ¿podrían alguna vez estar juntos de todos modos? Devon trata mal a las personas, es misterioso e impulsado por un deseo de muerte. Es un mejor amigo y un peor enemigo a la vez. Siguió a Kidd hasta la playa y no se irá hasta que le enseñe algunas lecciones de vida. Y a Olivia.
