Not many books have hooked me on the first sentence, but this one did, and the story became increasingly interesting as it progressed.

The story follows Addie, a competitive free diver who, on one dive, dies and is brought back 8 minutes later. She can't dive as she heals from this both mentally and physically, and is dragged along to her mother's honeymoon to an island that is only inhabited by the family of the caretaker. The island seems alive, and in a manner of speaking, it is the connection it has with its history and the ghosts of two Victorian girls tied to a boy named Jonah. Addie, with the help of the caretaker's son Billy, focuses on setting them free of the island, but it comes at the cost of losing themselves. It's hard to write this without spoiling much, so I hope everyone reads this book as a quick palette cleanser to other genres. It was a genuinely enjoyable experience!
