Riding the Break

<p>Life was supposed to be an easy wave to ride but somehow I keep wiping out. First my dad's accident shattered my world leaving me scared of the water that once brought us so much joy. Now on the cusp of leaving for college I'm standing at a crossroads staring out at an ocean of uncertainties. I didn't expect Finn the effortlessly cool surf instructor with a laugh that makes my heart race to be part of my summer. Or for him to push me-both onto a surfboard and out of my comfort zone. But here I am falling off waves and falling for someone who makes me want to stop running from my past. Every wave is a new chance to get back up but can I trust myself enough to keep riding? Because this summer isn't just about learning how to surf-it's about facing my fears finding myself and maybe even discovering that the biggest risks are the ones worth taking. Come catch a wave with me. I promise it's going to be one unforgettable ride.</p>
