Who knew living in the dorm cost money? An Ivy League education seems to mean living at home for the next four years. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen Cricket is offered the chance to earn enough cash to afford a real college experience, she heads back to Nantucket for the summer. But the faraway island challenges Cricket in ways she hadn't anticipated. It's hard to focus on earning money for next year, when she finds her world opening up in entirely new ways-to art, to travel, and, most unexpectedly, to a future completely different from the one she has been working toward her whole life. A friendship blossoms with Ben, the gorgeous surfer and bartender who encourages Cricket to be free, even as she smarts at the pain of seeing Zack, her first love, falling for her worst enemy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut one night, when Cricket finally lets herself break all her own rules, she realizes she may have ruined her carefully constructed future with one impulsive decision. Cricket must dig deep to fight for her future, discovering that success isn't just about reaching goals, but also about listening to what she's been trying to ignore-her own heart. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eNantucket Blue\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e[Howland] evokes the Nantucket setting vividly . . . when it comes to indulgent beach reading, sometimes it's more fun to get pushed over by a wave than to stay safely on your towel. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e -\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSand, secrets, Nantucket Reds, and romance.
