One life-changing summer.
One boy.
The boy.
The boy who offered me safe touches and heart-stopping smiles – smiles he shared with his son.
We filled our days with porch-step kisses,
filled our ears with laughter,
filled our hearts with love.
Deep, soul-aching, desperate love.

But love is misleading.
It’s an invisible, fleeting moment.
Somewhere between false adoration and pure hatred comes an emotion, a vulnerable need, a single desire.
It lives within the ones who miss it, who crave it,
who know better than to expect it.
Love is relentless.
Even when that love turns to hate, turns to loathing,
turns to pain.

Love should heal you.
But it can also break you.
Believe me, I know…

Because I’m Becca Owens – a broken girl…
…And he’s Josh Warden – the boy who broke me.

tina thoughts a review for you

This book is beautiful agony. I remember the second I finished Kick Push I wanted to beg Jay McLean for more, plead with crocodile tears streaming down my grief stricken face, while simultaneously strangling her for the agony she left my poor heart in. I was both excited and so anxious about what was in store. Coast continues the heart breaking and stunning story of Josh and Becca, two characters who are so brilliantly brought to life by the genius of Jay McLean. You feel it all and I am not ashamed to say it hurt so good.  

The first thing I loved about this book is the way it is presented. There are multiple parts, coupling both Josh and Becca’s POV as well as Becca’s journal entries. The way it is presented adds something unique to what you read. This book bleeds raw depth and emotion. I dare you to read this series and not feel for these two. There is so much heartache that has taken place, words and actions that cannot be erased. To see how these two work through their personal demons and find hope and a semblance of peace is stunning. The secondary cast of characters is perfect, adding friendship, hardship, and growth to the story. Tommy is as sweet as ever and I wanted to snuggle him! 

Coast feels deep. It is powerful. It is a story about hope and life. It is about sacrifice and utter commitment. It is about choice, healing, and love. I felt immersed in what I read, my heart bled for these moments and what takes place, but above all I trusted that Jay might leave me battered and bruised but oh so content in the end. These characters aren’t just people I read about. They came to life. I know that might sounds silly and overly dramatic but the way this book is written and the story you dive into, it brings something powerful into being. Something that takes a piece for your heart and leaves in its place a memory of a story that made me feel something real, deep, and raw. Prepare yourself and fall in love with Becca and Josh’s story in a whole new way!

There’s a single defining moment within every skater.
It lasts only a second. Two if you’re good.
Three if you’re really good.
It’s the moment you’re in the air, your board somewhere
beneath you, and nothing but wind surrounds you.
It’s the feeling of being airborne.

The sixteen-year-old version of me would’ve said it was the
greatest feeling in the world.
Then at seventeen, I had my son.
And every single second became a defining moment. Even the ones that consisted of heartbreak when his mother left us.

Seventeen. Single. Dad.
That’s what my life became.
Yet, every day, I managed to find that feeling of being
airborne.
Or at least I convinced myself I did.
But I lied—to myself and to everyone around me.
Until she showed up; Tanned skin, raven dark hair, and eyes the color of emeralds.

You know what sucks about being in the air?
Coming down from the high.
Sometimes you land on the board and nail the trick.
Then kick, push, and coast away.
Other times you fall.
You fall hard.
And those are the times when it’s not as easy to get back up, dust off your pads and try again.
Especially when the girl with the emerald eyes becomes your drug…
And you become her poison.
