We Run the Tides by Vendela Vida
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A quick read about young teens and friends and discovering who they are. Eulabee is one that doesn’t go along with her friends in lying about something she didn’t see. In turn they expel her from their group. Months later, still friendless, Eulabee’s ex-best friend is missing.
Most of the book is about Eulabee during her time without friends but it doesn’t belabor the point of her being lonely.
The writing propels you to continue reading, wondering what will happen, how will everything be resolved. It is hard not to connect with Eulabee and her struggles.
Thanks to Ecco and NetGalley for an uncorrected electronic advance review copy of this book.
book reviews, mostly.
books pulled from the shelves and new ones flying through the door. Enjoy!
