Jenny got pregnant after unprotected sex with Duncan, and Duncan doesn't want to acknowledge it, as he seems to have issues with connecting with her, even though his friend have told him that he should start to connect with his girlfriend more, especially now that they might be facing a baby.

My favourite part was when Rose and Windy were acting like regular teenagers at the beginning, because after that, everything seems forced and fake between them, including Rose's "emotion."

Rose's mother suffers depression because of a miscarriage not long ago, and really struggles with grappling her feelings and harnessing them in a way that isn't withdrawal or outbursts.

There are many plots, but I think the biggest plot, and the most advertised plot was the one about Jenny and Duncan, and their relationship, even tough Rose was important as well. The whole book sort of revolved around having babies, and the troubles of that; with Windy being adopted, Rose's mom suffering depression from a miscarriage, and Jenny's pregnancy.

I feel as though this book lacks a genuine resolution. Duncan calls Jenny, and they are able to come to a consensus, and Rose's family makes everything up to each other, but other than those "sort of" endings, we don't get a big tie into everyone's story and a full termination of the story itself, which leads me to conclude: the story's ending is up to interpretation (and what you read before that is MY interpretation).

There have been several mentions of Rose's love for the beach and water, but the part I want to highlight is a part where after Rose's life starts to teeter downhill with all the mental struggles her family is currently facing, Rose decides that instead of going with Windy to walk to her home, she swims along the beach instead. I think this part shows the progression of how much things are getting to Rose's head, which is to say, so much so that Rose struggles to even hand out with Windy, and now needs much more alone time than before.

Windy is Rose's best friend at Awago Beach. She is spunky, goofy, and Queer, though her attempts to cheer Rose up are met with frank rudeness and silence, which makes their friendship a bit awkward at times.

This follows immediately after the water when Rose's father tells Rose that he will be leaving Awago for a few days and taking a break from the environment and state their family is in, though Rose knows that it's to take a break from her mother, and she doesn't blame him for it, though she doesn't want to stay alone with her mother either.

Duncan is Jenny's boyfriend, and is hesitant to reach back out to Jenny because he is scared that she will blame him, and scared of the consequences he and her would have to face because of that.

This is when we find out that Jenny is pregnant with the shopkeeper, Duncan's baby. This is a turning point for the novel because Rose and Windy finally understand the full scope of the story.
