Was this a story of two broken characters and their journey toward something better? Was it going to be more contemporary and about a summer a group of teens spent together? Whatever I thought it might be, it was so much more.Kook is the story of Sam, a newly relocated teen with a slight chip on his shoulder thanks to losing his dad in a hazy accident when he was young, and Jade, a girl who also lost a parent (though not how you'd expect) who surfs as a way to cope with her home life. Newly relocated near the water, Sam is closer to learning the true story of what happened to his dad, and also to discovering what his dad was working on when he died. This knowledge helps deepen his relationship with Jade, and takes them down a path that will forever change them. Sam starts out secretly learning to surf to impress Jade into thinking he's no longer a kook - a learner or wannabe. She's a bit guarded so it's not going to be that easy to persuade her. But Sam is pretty persistent and before long, he's somewhat of a regular to her group of surfer buddies.This book feels deeply personal, as I imagine it is for the author. I had no idea the emotional pull it would have until it hit me like a ton of bricks. The story largely revolves around surfing and Sam's journey in learning, but ends up in a place you won't expect. It's a story of healing and being a teen, all at the same time. The teens in this book are definitely reckless and daring, for better or for worse.Originally published abroad, Kook is stylized for the country it takes place in, meaning I had to look up some of what the terms mean in American English. That doesn't take away from the story, though! I hope you'll take a chance and check it out! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A love story for boys as well *by M***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 25, 2016* What an astonishing book this is. At its heart, it's an old-fashioned boy-meets-girl romance, but there is nothing at all old-fashioned about it. This is a YA novel that is unapologetically 21st century: the teens involved drink vodka, smoke spliffs and have sex - but if that makes it sound grungey and gritty, it's actually not at all. It's sweet and happy and sad, brilliantly evoking an out-of-season Cornish surf resort, the normal, funny, surfing teens that inhabit it, and their yearning for adventure. While it's a million miles from being a preachy "morality tale" about the dangers of under-age vices, some of the negative consequences are described. The relationship between Sam and Jade does not become physical until Sam's 16th birthday, which keeps that bit all nice and legal, and it's all done in a way that is not too explicit and not too coy either.The ending will have you in shreds. I didn't see it coming and it is totally earned.Best of all, though, this is a love story that will appeal equally to boys as well as girls.
