Ethan had been many things. He was always ready for adventure, always willing to accept a dare, and always able to turn any activity into a fun escapade if his best friend, Kacey, was nearby. But that was before. Before the accident that took Kacey from him and the great loss that filled his life. Before his family moved from Boston to the small beachside town of Palm Knot, Georgia.

Review of 'The Ethan I was before' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

A beautiful of story of friendship, family, and loss, Ali Standish's wonderful debut grabbed me from the beginning and didn't let me go until I saw Ethan through to the end. Strong characters, a spot-on setting, and great details bring the story to life. THE ETHAN I WAS BEFORE is a soon-to-be classic. Readers of all ages will love this book, and teachers and librarians will be sharing it for a long time.
