Publisher’s Weekly (starred review)

“Through Michael’s dive-log journal entries, Leesie’s poetry and online chats, Morrison conveys underlying tensions that threaten the teenagers’ relationship and test their moral codes. . . [S]he handles the topics of religion and premarital sex gracefully without passing judgment. The message has less to do with religion than learning to respect and cherish others while staying true to one’s own beliefs.”  Ages 12–up.
