Carmie Hoffman is ready for everything to change. She wants to lose 20 pounds and be a beautiful girl. She wants someone to think she's special. She wants to move out of the Valley and stop worrying about her clinically depressed mother, who's tired and sad almost all of the time. Then, out of nowhere, she sees her opening - when her best friend convinces her mother to drive them to Malibu Beach, Carmie's tired, sad, and oh-so-old mom grabs a surfboard and impresses even the locals! That's when Carmie learns that her mom had a secret life before Carmie - a life where she was a Malibu surfer. Carmie knows that she was meant to learn this. That she and her mom were meant to move to Malibu and form a surfing dynasty with some of the surf legends her mom used to hang out with. In her movie notebook, Carmie writes herself a starring role as a glamorous, gorgeous surf star. But not everything is as easy as it is in the movies, and Carmie learns that her mom is a much more complicated and wonderful person than she ever knew.

My 67th read of 2007.

This one was okay. I found the writing style to be a bit childish and disjointed. The way Carmie always called her mom "Mommy" really got on my nerves too. Great cover, though!
