When Lexi turned sixteen, everything changed. After all, on her sixteenth birthday, her boyfriend drowned. And now? Now she can’t sleep at all. She spends her nights swimming at a secluded lake in the hopes of keeping a similar incident from occurring again. But then she finds Cole Hitchings, Steven’s best friend at the lake and once more, things change for her. Now she has a chance to break her curse and live a normal life, if she can bear to give up the one that she’s falling for.
Ripple isn’t a terribly large book, but oh my goodness did I enjoy it! I loved the occasional flashback to when Steven was alive, how not swimming for a night affected her, and how sweet Cole ends up being to her when they return to school for their senior year of high school. But as much as I love Cole, I’ll have to admit that I really liked Erik too--he’s got stunning eyes and an extremely sexy voice. I mean, what’s not to love, right?
I’m doing my best to bite my tongue here; as much as I’d love to gush on and on about Ripple, I’ll have to keep my lips zipped here because otherwise? Spoilers. The boys do play a very big role in Ripple and I honestly couldn’t find anything that I didn’t like about the book. I loved that it touched on the lore behind what Lexi is and that things wrapped up so nicely by the time that things came to a close. Would I recommend Ripple to you? Definitely! However, I would like to reiterate that the romance plays a big part in Ripple and that if you don’t like that sort of thing, it might not be for you—although I suppose the only way to know for sure would be to give Ripple a shot!
