I didn't really know what to expect from this book and was looking forward to a summery YA romance.

In the beginning I really liked the setting with the inn as well as the simmering romance between childhood friends Derian and Trevor. I also found it interesting that Derian has the ability to see events in the future.

Throughout the story I got more and more annoyed because Derian was changing her feelings all the time. First there is Trevor but they are too scared to talk about her feelings but while she is with one guy, she is thinking about another. She is putting herself into a very innocent person but she was constantly playing with guys feelings. I also found it annoying that she and Trevor are just not able to talk to each other and all the time there is a new drama.

Derians ability was really random and sometimes I just had the feeling that the events weren't necessary for the story.

In parts this was a cute story but unfortunately it got very annoying too. As I have the other parts of the series on my Kindle already, I will continue reading it and I am hoping for some improvement.

Derian went to live with her mother in Vancouver after her father died in a tragic accident. A year later she moves back to Britannia Beach because she wants to be home. Her grandfather owns an inn and Derian can live with him. Derian helps him out with the day to day chores at inn and breakfast is her specialty. The inn is old and is in desperate need of renovations. Will her grandfather be able to keep running it?

Trevor lives next door to Derian. They have been best friends forever. Derian, however, would love for them to step out of the friend zone. Derian has a crush on Trevor, but she isn't sure if he feels the same way. Sophie is Derian's best friend and she is determined to help Derian to get a boyfriend. There are several boys who are interested in her, so this should not be a problem. Will Derian eventually end up with the guy she likes the most?

Derian has had visions for as long as she can remember. Trevor and Sophie know about this and are trying to help her. Derian feels frustrated about the fact that she sees these images and fragments, but doesn't know when the real thing will happen or if she can stop it from taking place. Because of that she is practicing to develop her ability. Derian is a very sweet person. She cares about others, like her grandfather and friends, and is a responsible girl. Derian helps her grandfather as much as she can and she is a good student. In school she stands up for people who are being picked on and I loved that about her. She's a beautiful main character, both inside and out.

There is one sentence in Put It Out There that really stood out for me:

'Don't forget to be proud of what makes you unique.'

This is a powerful message. I think we all have our insecurities, no matter what age we are. We are all our own person and that's exactly what makes us so special. D.R. Graham writes about wonderful and interesting characters. Britannia Beach sounds like a great place to live and it's a perfect setting for Derian's story. Put It Out There is the first book in the Britannia Beach Series and it ends with a fantastic cliffhanger. I'm really curious about the evolvement of Derian's ability and her love life and can't wait to read the next book.

This book was exactly what I was looking; nothing more and nothing less. I really wanted a summer romance book, with all its cheesiness and no substance, and this was it! I can't knock it in any way, because I had a great time reading it. Normally I'm not the biggest fan of the romance being with someone the main character already knows, but I didn't mind it too much in this. I also liked the whole visions aspect, because it brought something new to an otherwise typical story.
