Review: 

The book revolves around Nina, a prostitute by profession. It's a series of diary entries where Nina shares her life events, her emotions and the people around her. This reads like someone is speaking to you in person, and you simply couldn't put this down until it ends. This book was extremely touching. I felt the author handled the subject matter well and delibers a great message. 

While reading it, I couldn't help but think about the murders that happening around because of someone couldn't control his/her horrible thoughts. In the beginning, when the book flases about deaths of women, Nina felt utmost fear what if she's the next target, as living in a independent country every woman can relate to her. Some of her thoughts were unabashed perspective of reality for many young women in this world. 

The story narrative type is unique and so intensely painful, at once both heart wrenching and heartwarming. There were some passages that brought tears to my eyes and others that made me smile. Some of the scenes were so poignant. 

The characterizations are drawn well giving the reader insights into the lives of everyone in this book. The characters' emotions are bought to life and the readers can feel their pain and fears as well as their joy and happiness. 

The author explores the social issues, attitudes toward people with disabilities, especially those of a mental nature, as well as physical and emotional abuse of women and recovery from childhood traumas. 

Readers who are easily bothered by sensitive topics should know that they are really the driving force of the plot here. In my opinion, the story was written well. The characters, the emotions, the storyline everything is handled well. 

The book demands a certain amount of empathy which becomes clear the more you read, the more the tragic. I finished the book with the unquenchable need to just hug and comfort this main character. This is a story that needs to be heard. This book just sucked me in completely. So I ended up giving it the highest rating.

Book Description:

A career on the verge of a wipeout. A relationship out to sea. Stepping back to the shore to rethink her future, can she get in the zone with life?

Zoe Smith, 23, is stuck in a funk. Discouraged by her last performance of the season, the twenty-three-year-old competitive surfer feels unhappy with the person she’s become. And discovering her coach and boyfriend is a cheater, she calls it quits, packs her board, and heads home to Australia for the summer to regroup.

Heartbroken, she turns to her journal as an outlet and opens herself up to anything the universe suggests. And shocked when a spiritual guide answers her plea, she sets out to deepen her connection with loved ones and reach toward clarity.

As her perceptions evolve and she sees herself and others anew, can Zoe catch a wave to enlightenment?

The Summer of Wonder is an inspiring and sweet New Adult women’s fiction novel. 

Review: 

The book started with our main character Zoe, who's a professional surfer. Zoe explaining us about her childhood and also how she got herself into surfing. I loved Derek in the beginning as she explains how their relationship blooms. Characters are well written, especially Zoe's friendship with Sophie. It captures Zoe's surfing life – it surely reminded me of watching a summer vibe movies. It's about how far one is willing to push the limits in pursuit of rising above . It covers the spiritual and professional growth of Zoe. Author ends the book with a lovely poem and there's a epilogue link too. Overall a goodread, if you're feeling a bit down or need something to motivate yourself, you can pick this book for sure.
