LitPick Review
Everybody thinks Syrah is the golden girl. After all, her father is Ethan Cheng, billionaire, and she has everything any kid could possibly desire: a waterfront mansion, jet plane, and custom designed snowboards. But most of what glitters in her life is fool's gold. Her half-siblings hate her, her best friend's girlfriend is ruining their friendship, and her own so-called boyfriend is only after her for her father's name. When her broken heart results in a snowboarding accident that exiles her from the mountains--the one place where she feels free and accepted for who she is, not what she has--can Syrah rehab both her busted-up knee and her bruised heart?
Opinion:
Girl Overboard was a very inspirational book about following your dreams and making a difference. I was easily drawn into the plot, feeling a deep connection with the main character, Syrah. I thought it was very well-written and enjoyable to read. Justina Chen Headley's writing was witty and charming, but at the same time it was moving and powerful. This amusing page-turner is definitely a must-read.
