Review for The Girl in the Lake
A book about family, conquering fears, and summer. Sadly, it was absolutely not scary + I had some other things that didn’t work for me.

First Chapter First Paragraph Thursday Intros ~ The World Between Blinks by Amie Kaufman, Ryan Graudin
Marisol loved the air around the ocean. It smelled mostly of salt, yes, but there were so many other things happening inside it too. Sunscreen and crying seagulls and driftwood discoveries and waves washing castles back into sand. One breath held all of this.

First Chapter First Paragraph Thursday Intros ~ Freaky in Fresno
I nearly have an out-of-body experience as I watch Jake lean in to kiss me.
It’s the moment I’ve been dreaming of, and my adrenaline is pumping so hard I’m afraid I’ll pass out. It feels like everything has shifted into slow motion as a voice in my head screams, This is it, Ricki! Your first kiss from a nonrelative!
Jake is so close I can sense the warmth of his breath on my lips as I draw in the fresh afternoon air. I close my eyes and… execute a full-body spasm to duck out of the way.
I basically react as if the two of us are in a slasher flick and Jake is coming at me with a butcher knife instead of those perfect lips of his.
My evasive action is not subtle.
