The Edge of Summer by Erica George
4.0
Coriander and her best friend Ella bonded over whales when they were little. Now that Ella is gone, Coriander made a list of things they wanted to do before college. One of them is going on a marine biology internship in Cape Cod.
It's supposed to be a summer of new beginnings and dealing with the past, but all of that is a bit interfered with when she meets Mannix. He has a million of jobs trying to help his family and doesn't have time for anything serious. But love always finds a way. :)
Making a list was a way of dealing with the grief and the immense guilt she had over the death of her friend. As she spends time at Cape Cop, working very hard to get into the good graces of her boss, making friends and falling in love, the snippets of her past reveal why she has such a hard time with her death. With time the weight of it is lifted a bit and she can beat it again.
Coriander is a very complex character. She made mistakes, and now she has to live with them and that is not an easy thing to do, especially given her age. It is the kind of story that pulls at all of your heartstrings and you can't help but feel for her in the end.
