Ain't no wave pool

Bol

In the streets of Auckland and rugged West-coast beaches of New Zealand, Tyler Arana Davis, is an agent of disorder. Surfing the waves by day, small time dealer by night, he cruises through life. His world is upended when two university students-cynical, self-destructive Zara Gerbov and her radiant best friend Carlene Kruger-enter his life. Descending from Bulgaria and South Africa, the girls are tied by fierce friendship. Just as romance begins between Carlene and Tyler, tragedy hits and soon spirals into heartbreak and devastation, tearing open wounds Tyler and Zara have spent a lifetime trying to bury. Will Tyler surrender to his nightmares, or bet everything on healing and love? Will Zara make the right choice when every step feels like a battle for her soul?Surf breaks, strong friendships and first love collide as a group of young adults try to heal, hold it together and find their feet. Tackling sexual trauma, mental health and suicide with honesty and sensitivity, this is fast-paced, cinematic storytelling that feels real. Steeped in surf culture and emotional truth, it's a compulsive, heartfelt page-turner for both young adult and adult readers.
