About Everything to the Sea by Alicia Upano
Jane returns to her island home for one last summer before her senior year of college, expecting to save money and move on toward her dream of becoming an architect. There she reconnects with Kenji, a Hilo boy whose easy summer romance with her is interrupted when a tsunami devastates Hawai‘i and brings devastating loss to both their families.
In the years that follow, Kenji stays in Hawai‘i to help rebuild their hometown, while Jane leaves for California, carrying her grief with her. Seven years later, they meet again on another coast. Upano’s debut novel follows the couple across years and shores as they come of age, build new lives, and try to find their way back to each other. It may appeal to readers of contemporary romance and literary fiction interested in love, grief, resilience, and the lasting effects of catastrophe.
