Here Beside the Rising Tide by Emily Jane
5.0
Oh, how I loved this book! Climate fiction meets sea monsters who love candy, a boy long lost to the ocean, and the girl he left behind who is now a grown up with children, a failing marriage, and a career as an action-romance author. Jenni has fled the anxieties of her daily life by packing up her children and driving them to the beach where she spent her childhood summers. When her friend Timmy, who disappeared decades ago, reemerges on the beach, still a young boy, Jenni's whole world turns upside down. She must fight against her impulse to act normally as the truly abnormal comes to be. If you want a smart, funny look into the human condition--particularly in the face of big changes--look no further than Emily Jane's work.
