“And from somewhere deep within, I finally feel her fade away; fade far, far away into the unknown, where I know I can no longer follow her.” Shannon Dogar, the author, writes these words upon the pages of, Waves. This passage is a powerful indicator of how passionate this book can be.

This book was amazing! Probably the best book I have ever read! I loved the way Sharon Dogar wrote with more than one main character and narrator. The narrator’s voice pulled me in and I got lost in the book. The character I felt most connected with was Charley. Because I love the ocean just like she did. She also is confused about the complications of life and love, as she gets caught up to quickly with a guy she’s not sure to trust. If I were to recommend this book to anyone I would recommend it to all the teenage girls because it is a love story and really digs deep to your soul.
