Matt and his best friend, John, only came out to Montauk for the summer to make a little extra cash and then head back home. A seemingly basic plan for two guys from Queens.
And then Matt meets Driana.
Because it’s always about a girl, right?
The girl leads to a party, the party leads to a boat, which leads to being adrift at sea with three rich kids who have no clue about how to navigate a boat, let alone actually survive.
I mentioned recently that I really like survival stories. This one was no exception. I hadn't heard of this book from any of the usual sources, so when it popped up at the library I was excited to read it.
Matt and John come from a blue collar lifestyle. They're working hard for their summer money when they run into a group of rich kids that invite them to a party. Matt drags John along because he wants to see more of Driana. This turns out to be a disaster because one things leads to another and Matt, John, Driana and 2 of Driana's friends end up in a small boat out at sea. They are totally lost with no supplies and no one knows where they are. What they don't know is that there is a hurricane coming.
This was a tense book. Not everyone survives. There's gangrene and sharks and a dead body hanging around. However, it was a really good story. It held my interest the entire way through. I would recommend this book to people that like this sort of thing. Readers with just casual interest might think it's a little overboard...hahaha see what I did there.
