The Lifeguard by Deborah Blumenthal

A sweet and rather simple book to read. Sirena spends her summer with her aunt who lives on the beach. There she learns about the strange creatures that are living with her. But who can think about them while there's Pilot stealing her attention? Without a doubt, Pilot has something different about him.
An easy to understand book and easy to connect with. Overall, it was okay. It was hard to tell which was the main story. Was it the strange roomates or the mystery surronding Pilot? I had a hard time telling which was more important. The beginning was horribly slow. I had a hard time making myself read it. But the most exciting part was the end and if it wasn't for it, the book would have been a lot worse.
The characters were not that special. Pilot and his family were interesting to learn about but Sirena just didn't seem too important. The two main characters were kind of easy to connect with but I felt as though they could have been more interesting to the readers. Pilot's and Sirena's love story however was very sweet and fun to read about.
