For sixteen-year-old Rainbow Honeywell—or Rain, as she
insists on being called—the answer was to become the queen of all pranks. She
never wanted to be a troublemaker, but the label quickly stuck when everyone in
Huntsville, Kansas, became a target. All she wanted was to deflect the negative
attention off her parents, but Rain's plan backfired to the max, landing her in
a heap of trouble with the local authorities and expelled from high school.
An unexpected inheritance offers Rain an opportunity for a
new beginning when she and her family move across the country to the quaint
beach community of Turtle Bay, Florida.
Determined to make the best of her second chance, Rain vows
to walk the straight and narrow, hoping her parents will fly under the radar
while she soaks up some fun in the sun, sandy beaches, and hot, tanned guys.
Unfortunately, she picks the wrong new friends, and a late night party lands
her back in the kind of trouble she had been hoping to avoid. As the newbie in
town with a record, Rain takes the brunt of the punishment when an unforgiving
judge chooses to make an example out of her and slaps her with enough community
service hours to keep her busy until she is old and gray.
Facing the harsh reality of paying for the actions of others
while atoning for her own past sins, Rain is paired up with Josh Shaw, a
judgmental local lifeguard whose love for the beach and the environment is
eclipsed only by his distaste for those who trash it. As far as Josh is
concerned, Rain is guilty and got what she deserved, regardless of her side of
the story. To make matters worse, a tropical storm sits in the Atlantic,
threatening to wreak havoc on the small beach community.
Things slowly change as Rain begins to appreciate her
surroundings through Josh's eyes, proving she is not the person he thinks she
is. Their feelings for one another blossom as the tropical storm grows into a
hurricane and bears down on Turtle Bay. With impending danger looming, the
small beach community must come together in order to ride out the storm.

"Dreams do come true...Dream big."
Anyway, meeting Rain and her hippie parents in the beginning of this refreshing light read of a girl that really trying to find her true self. While she is an open person, she still struggles with with accepting some of her own identity issues...
But, come on...what teenager doesn't, right??
But the best thing about Rain being able to discover herself is the fact that she is moving to Turtle Bay and OMG...life at the beach sounds like heaven..
*snickers*
Poor Rain...although she is trying to start on the right foot in this new place, she definitely ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time...
We all have had moments like that and all you can do is shake your head and sigh...
This is a huge turning point for Rain in the story and I am really glad this happened. We get to dive even more in to who she is and what she stands for.
Plus...not to mention that the gorgeous HAWT lifeguard Josh is there and Ahhhh!!! Man what a dream!!
But, even though things seem to be looking up, things aren't always sunny at the beach and lets just say a storm is a brewing...
A great sweet story that truly shows the strength of a young girl coming of age...
Loved it and highly recommend!!
