    I really like your story, and the summary was a big thing that got me to want to read this, awesome job on that, i did notice however that a few of the commas you use could be replaces with one of these ; (I forgot what there called; sorry XD) but here's and example: The tides were different; the people. that's how it should have looked not The tides were different. The people.

    Seems like a very interesting story, and cannot wait to read more! I also love the way you used dialog and your layout.

    So the layout and summary caught my attention for this story. It looks the layout is deeply related to the story. Being a sandy colour, yet not beachy, it's mostly just vintage and very pretty.

    I like the idea of this story. It's sort of a classic, girl moves from home, meets boy, kind of thing I think? Except this story seems like it might pull something else off if the main character is as witty as you've portrayed.

    One thing that I don't like in this story is the amount of telling, versus the amount of describing and showing. You need to balance that ratio. It's not really necessary to mention if a character went to the mall or whatever unless it's relevant to the story.

    Either way, it's a good start to the story and I am excited to see what it becomes.
