Return to Paradise by Simone Elkeles/302 pages

In this sequel to Leaving Paradise, Caleb's transition counselor has strongly suggested that he join a group of teens that travel and talk to at risk teens about the consequences of reckless driving.  After serving time in juvenile detention, Caleb returned home to Paradise only to find that nothing was the same. He ends up in an intense relationship with his next door neighbor, Maggie, who is also the girl he hit while driving drunk. Well, Maggie is one of the other teens that has been recruited for the summer trip. They try to ignore the feelings they have for one another, but it doesn't take long for all the tension of their past to come between them again. The author continues with the alternating chapters for the main characters, Caleb and Maggie. There are some several supporting characters in this book, but you don't really learn much about any of them. I guess the author was trying to  resolve all the problems and feelings that were left undone in the first book, but in this instance, I think she have ended Maggie and Caleb's story after Leaving Paradise.
