What I like: Andi and Miles are exes but manage to have a good relationship about their daughter, Brooke. Andi also gets along with Miles's second wife, Lark (at least most of the time). Zeke is now supporting Art (his father) and being a steadying influence for him, just as Art did for him while Zeke was growing up. Two Moon Bay seems a nice community. Zeke and Andi don't get married after only knowing each other for a few months--they do decide to "go steady" which is believable to me based on the time frame--it was a nice change from most of these books that seem to feel the characters need to get married by the end of the book. I liked learning about the history of the boat. Andi's not afraid to take a new career direction once she realizes that she's not looking forward to the office job.

What I didn't like: Andi's mom seems to think Andi made a poor choice to divorce Miles (even though it was years ago) and a poor choice to move to Two Moon Bay without planning ahead for things like a job--I don't feel she supported her daughter's choices well, though she does seem to change her tune when Brooke visits her over the summer. Brooke's attitude toward her mom at the beginning of the book; she's surly and resentful that they moved even though she's apparently spent time in this town with her father and stepmother in the past. Brooke also doesn't seem to consider her mother's feelings when she whines to move in with her dad for the summer. Quinn's dismissal of the boat his family owned as if it's not important. ( )
