I know you left the ending unknown, which was unforgivable, but did you mean that Eva drowned at the end? Loved the book, hated the ending.

**Spoiler Warning!**
Gosh no! I saw it as Eva having a moment of catharsis, feeling her way to an understanding and acceptance of the realities of her life in the vastness of the ocean. Glad you loved the rest of the book and hope that makes the ending more forgivable. One of these days I’ll finish the sequel… :)

Every time I see your name on the cover of Invincible Summer, I think of Booth Tarkington (because his 1922 Pulitzer Prize winning novel Alice Adams is one that I will get to eventually). Have you ever thought about writing a book called Booth Tarkington just to really confuse things?
