I picked up Raw Blue because I was headed for a trip to the beach with my colleagues, where there were chances to surf (which we didn’t really do).

Or can she let go of her anger and shame, and find the courage to be happy? When Ryan learns the truth, Carly has to decide. Surfing is the one thing she loves doing … and the only thing that helps her stop thinking about what happened two years ago at schoolies week.Īnd then Carly meets Ryan, a local at the break, fresh out of jail.
