About the book:
When high school junior Melissa Keiser returns to her hometown of Anna
Maria Island, Florida, she has one goal: hide from the bullies who had
convinced her she was the ugliest girl in school. But when she is caught
sneaking into a neighbor's pool at night, everything changes. Something
is different now that Melissa is sixteen, and the guys and popular
girls who once made her life miserable have taken notice. When Melissa
gets the chance to escape life in a house ruled by her mom's latest
boyfriend, she must choose where her loyalties lie between a long-time
crush, a new friend, and her surfer brother who makes it impossible to
forget her roots. Just as Melissa seems to achieve everything she ever
wanted, she loses a loved one to suicide. Melissa must not only grieve
for her loss, she must find the truth about the three boys who loved her
and discover that joy sometimes comes from the most unexpected place of
all.

My thoughts:
Like Moonlight At Low Tide was a wonderful book. The beginning of the story was good and grabbed my attention (read a sample and you'll see what I mean), but it wasn't until I was well into the book that I started to love the story and really care about the characters.
I had no idea what was going to happen to the characters or how the book was going to end-- and when I reached those last couple chapters I got really nervous that something I dreaded was going to happen. But, the book ended the way it should and I loved it.
Overall, a very good read. I'm not usually a fan of coming-of-age novels, but I loved Like Moonlight At Low Tide. I recommend it to older teens and adults who like realistic YA fiction.
*I did not get this book for review. As always, all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.
