A little proof of my love of my books. This is the very same exact book I got in 7th grade. This book got me started on my love for reading. I've kept it all these years in the best possible condition considering all the moving I've done all these years. This book is a teen romance. Cathy starts her first ocean lifeguarding duties on a island. She moves in with her aunt and cousin. She falls for head lifeguard, Jay, who unfortunately has a girlfriend. The girlfriend is the kind of girl that's more into shopping than getting down and dirty. Things start to happen, not bad, and feelings get shown/ changed. It is her best summer ever. The fact that she also reads is a plus of course. Ever since this book, I have been reading non stop. I can't even give you a number on the amount of books I have read. I would have over 5000 on my kindle if my old account hadn't got hacked, but I am back to 1000 on kindle, a few hundred on book funnel, plus probably 100 or so on paperback. ( I haven't counted my paperback books yet) Some people ask..why do I love to read. One: it took my mind away from things that I was going through. Two: The world's you go into with each book is fun and exciting. Three: I always put myself as the female lead and pictured me doing all that was done in the book. And four: the writing plus the cover look is great! Reading can also enhance your own creativity and writing skills, which is why I am trying my own hand in writing. I have written my own werewolf/vampire series..inspiration twilight but my own twist to it..of course. Link is in my bio What was the first book you read
