Girl Overboard

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?

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.
