They immediately hit it off with each other and go to the beach with one another. We learn bits about each of them, but the root of what we know of their relationship is that they are both amazing summer friends.]]> 2023-04-19 21:03:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ellayutao/ypwttayp32v5yw7r/wish/2560721170 ellayutao https://padlet.com/ellayutao/ypwttayp32v5yw7r/wish/2560734718 Windy and Rose go to a corner shop for candy, and they notice a good-looking boy at the front counter, though they don't know his name, they dawn him the name of the 'DUD.' Windy 'speculates' that Rose has a crush on the 'DUD,' which see doesn't though she thinks about it lots throughout the story.]]> 2023-04-19 21:26:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ellayutao/ypwttayp32v5yw7r/wish/2560734718 ellayutao https://padlet.com/ellayutao/ypwttayp32v5yw7r/wish/2568046080 After Rose and Windy's second trip to the corner shop, they hear the boys, Jenny, and the girls call each other "sluts" and while they talk about it, they also refer to them as "sluts," and Rose's mother overhears this, and is disappointed to hear something like that come out of Rose's mouth. They have a talk, and this is the start of Rose's implied sadness and pulling out from the world. ]]> 2023-04-26 01:41:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ellayutao/ypwttayp32v5yw7r/wish/2568046080 ellayutao https://padlet.com/ellayutao/ypwttayp32v5yw7r/wish/2568052084 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. ]]> 2023-04-26 01:46:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ellayutao/ypwttayp32v5yw7r/wish/2568052084 ellayutao https://padlet.com/ellayutao/ypwttayp32v5yw7r/wish/2568054671 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.]]> 2023-04-26 01:48:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ellayutao/ypwttayp32v5yw7r/wish/2568054671 ellayutao https://padlet.com/ellayutao/ypwttayp32v5yw7r/wish/2568064063 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. ]]> 2023-04-26 01:56:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ellayutao/ypwttayp32v5yw7r/wish/2568064063 ellayutao https://padlet.com/ellayutao/ypwttayp32v5yw7r/wish/2568067721 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). ]]> 2023-04-26 01:58:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ellayutao/ypwttayp32v5yw7r/wish/2568067721 ellayutao https://padlet.com/ellayutao/ypwttayp32v5yw7r/wish/2568069762 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. ]]> 2023-04-26 02:00:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ellayutao/ypwttayp32v5yw7r/wish/2568069762 ellayutao https://padlet.com/ellayutao/ypwttayp32v5yw7r/wish/2568072998 A girl named Rose goes to a place she's gone every summer, Awago Beach, and meets her friend Windy there. They go to a shop together, and the boy there, they name "the DUD." Soon they discover the DUD's girlfriend to be pregnant, all while Rose finds out about her mother's worsening mental start being of a miscarriage. At the end of the book, her mother gets over it, and the DUD and his girlfriend make it up again. ]]> 2023-04-26 02:03:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ellayutao/ypwttayp32v5yw7r/wish/2568072998 ellayutao https://padlet.com/ellayutao/ypwttayp32v5yw7r/wish/2568077690 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."]]> 2023-04-26 02:06:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ellayutao/ypwttayp32v5yw7r/wish/2568077690 ellayutao https://padlet.com/ellayutao/ypwttayp32v5yw7r/wish/2568079907 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. ]]> 2023-04-26 02:07:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ellayutao/ypwttayp32v5yw7r/wish/2568079907 ellayutao https://padlet.com/ellayutao/ypwttayp32v5yw7r/wish/2568083685 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. ]]> 2023-04-26 02:10:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ellayutao/ypwttayp32v5yw7r/wish/2568083685 ellayutao https://padlet.com/ellayutao/ypwttayp32v5yw7r/wish/2568084855 Rose is the main character, who struggles with her emotions as her family faces mental challenges, while also watching a couple sort things out between themselves and figure things out, step by step. ]]> 2023-04-26 02:11:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ellayutao/ypwttayp32v5yw7r/wish/2568084855 ellayutao https://padlet.com/ellayutao/ypwttayp32v5yw7r/wish/2568089299 Alice is Rose's mother, who is struggling with a miscarriage that she had, and is pulling her entire family apart because of her mental state.
