I picked this up from the bookswap table at the unconvention in Nottingham. I shall add this to my 'to Be Read' pile (which only consists of the ~15 books I got at the uncon), and look forward to reading it shortly.
I really enjoyed Waves. It's a well-written fascinating story for young adults. It explores the 'coming of age' theme through a summer of long, hot days by the sea and first love relationships, but much, much more. We see a very strong brother-sister bond between the main characters Hal and Charley. While their connection - and ability to communicate despite being hundreds of miles apart - may be hard to believe for some readers, I think it is natural to them because they are best friends.
The story flows along gently and the descriptions of young love and angst are beautifully written.

Taken by my son's girlfriend. She was bold enough to express interest in bookcrossing when I mentioned going to the convention in Dublin next week and she was given a whistle-stop verbal introduction to bookcrossing. I offered all my 'Available' books to her and she choose this and one other.
She promises to log into Bookcrossing when she is finished and may join.
