'Smart, perceptive, elegant, sad, surprising and addictive. And it's also FUNNY.' Nick Hornby 'What We Run the Tides probes so poignantly is the volatility of female adolescence... Knowing and powerfully enigmatic.' Observer Teenage Eulabee and her magnetic best friend, Maria Fabiola, own the streets of Sea Cliff, their foggy oceanside San Francisco neighbourhood. They know Sea Cliff's homes and beaches, its hidden corners and eccentric characters - as well as the upscale all-girls' school they attend. One day, walking to school with friends, they witness a horrible act - or do they? Eulabee and Maria Fabiola vehemently disagree on what happened, and their rupture is followed by Maria Fabiola's sudden disappearance - a potential kidnapping that shakes the quiet community and threatens to expose unspoken truths. Suspenseful and poignant, We Run the Tides is Vendela Vida's masterful portrait of an inimitable place on the brink of radical transformation. Pre-tech boom San Francisco finds its mirror in the changing lives of the teenage girls at the centre of this story of innocence lost, the pain of too much freedom, and the struggle to find one's authentic self. Told with a gimlet eye and great warmth, We Run the Tides is both a gripping mystery and a tribute to the wonders of youth, in all its beauty and confusion. 'We Run the Tides is hypnotic, knowing, and propulsive as it examines girlhood, friendship, and the strong pull of the past.' Meg Wolitzer

Recommended in the New York Times book section so I was disappointed, except for the accurate and vivid sense of place of an seafront area of San Francisco not often described, the Sea Cliff. The story is narrated by a 15-yr-old girl who doesn't love anything or anyone, including the missing ex-BF so I lost interest in the story and didn't finish. I grew up in that area so I loved the accurate details of the place and the kids' life on the cliffs but the mystery of why the friend disappears isn't interesting. The narrator sneers at everything so who cares?
