Squeeee! Welcome to the first day of the Transfer Student Blog Tour! Today Velvet at vvb32reads has the Starjump Excerpt! Here is one of the settings that inspired the excerpt. The scene starts with Ashley and Sean surfing at Zuma. Ashley wants to forget what happened to her best frenemy the day before so she takes to the water, like she usually does when she wants to escape, but this time something’s different. This time the stars call to her a second time. This time she listens.
