Liked It “Besides Kiss & Blog, this is one of Alyson Noel's better books.

“Besides Kiss & Blog, this is one of Alyson Noel's better books. The story is told in different points of view, and it's not neccisarily one story, just a bunch intertwined, all having to do with the other in some way. Anne, Ellie, Jade, and Lola all tell bits and pieces, and all deal with issues that most of us can relate to...Definitely a good read for teenagers.”

“I like the fact that the girl in the book refused to try and be like everyone else. Surfing was the main center of the book and I liked how the point of view changed throughout the book.”

Anne feels like she is being punished by her parents by being forced to move in with her dad. Her mom and dad are in the process of a divorce because Anne's mom has been cheating and is in love with her boyfriend. Anne is being pulled from the life that she loves; her amazing boyfriend, Justin, all of her friends, and her beloved diving team, which she was just crowned the captain of.
Laguna Cove, where Anne's dad lives, is a rich neighborhood where the houses share a private beach. Her dad is never home because he is a big movie producer and she's in Laguna Cove for about a week before her dad even decides to come home.
She is picked up at the airport by Jake, her dad's errand runner. He leaves her at the house to go surfing, which she quickly learns is the sport of choice in LC. Before Jake leaves, however, he introduces Anne to Chris, his best friend.
Her first day of school is rough because she is way over-dressed and she doesn't know anyone. Except Chris.
When he sees her before school, Chris calls her over to his group of friends, and introduces her to all of them. Everyone seems really nice, except for Ellie.
Jade and Lola become her friends, and Chris her boyfriend, who even teaches her to surf. No matter how nice everyone is to Anne, though, Ellie is still really mean to her. And Anne has no idea why.
Can Anne and Ellie ever be friends? And can Anne learn to surf well enough to compete in the Surf Fest competition?
LAGUNA COVE is a super-easy, fast, fun read. All you need to enjoy summer is this book, a pool, and a cold drink! ”
“I really liked this book. I am a big fan of the author I read one of her books before called Kiss & Blog and it was really great. It was very enjoyable. The main character moves from the east coast to California where things are much more laid back and all about the beach and surfing. The book is all about adjusting to your surroundings, now that Annie lives in a beach town she wants to learn how to surf and fit in with the kids. The book reminded me a lot about my own life, how during the year I am always in the city going to dinner and shopping in jackets and sweaters but over the summer I go to long island and hang at the beach and spend all my hours in the ocean and don't even care about my clothes all i care about is relaxing and swimming. I highly reccommend this book and any other book written by Alyson Noel”
