OK so I'm not usually into these kinds of books,but man this one changed my opinion. It was an awesome romance. The ending could have been better in my opinion,but i guess in a since it ended the way it was set up to end.
From School Library Journal
Gwen, 17, has returned to a small beach community seven years after the scandal that forced her family to flee. Now she's spending the summer working at her grandmother's inn and hoping to put the past behind her. The very first morning she's there, however, she meets Jesse, a boy who claims he already knows her, and knows what happened all those years ago. Overcome by her attraction to him, Gwen spends more and more time with him and realizes that he has secrets he isn't telling her. Her grandmother's tales of selkies foreshadow what is to come, and readers will probably guess the outcome long before Gwen does. If they can get past the sentimental title that belies the real story, the romance and mystery will keep them reading until the very end.

HI
Thanks so much for appreciating SEVEN TEARS! I'm still haunted by this book and am longing to write a new fantasy.
Tell you a secret about the ending, though...I had no idea where I'd end up until my fingers typed it. And it was a tough way to end, but Jesse insisted that was the way things had to be...
