But before the letters are burned in the bonfire, Natalia has a change of heart and tries to retrieve her letter. In doing so, she accidentally sets the letters free. And as the wind whisks seven of them across the beach, seven of their deepest secrets and wildest dreams are exposed. Can Natalia and Ethan find a future if their secrets are out there?

This book has a concise length which is easy for the reader to digest, while the use of present tense within the short paragraphs and sentences brings a sense of immediacy to the events that are happening on the page and the viewpoint changes (as well as the time checks and locations that come with it) are clearly signposted, although the old-fashioned illustrations and design of the front cover is more reminiscent of a Mills and Boon story rather than a contemporary young adult novel.
About the author
Eva Des Lauriers is a California girl who became a diehard romantic when she married her best friend, the boy she sat next to in eleventh grade Calculus. She now holds both an MSW and BA in Psychology. As a clinical social worker, she had the privilege of working with the vibrant and complicated teens for whom she now writes. When she isn't writing, you can find her wandering through the redwoods, staring at the sea, or pretending she's in a music video. She lives with her husband, their two children, and her collection of kissing books in Northern California.
