In this YA drama that features all of life’s most exciting firsts, as well as real-life issues like teen drug use and mental health, studious surfer girl Kendra falls for new bad boy at school Brock, and learns an important life lesson: it takes more than just a game of 21 Questions to really get to know someone—or even more so, yourself.
In Laguna Beach, California, sixteen-year-old Kendra Dimes is preparing
for the 2010 USA Surfing Prime West. She’ll be competing this year in
honor of her brother, who was a surfer too, but who died from a drug
overdose. Kendra has suffered anxiety attacks ever since her brother’s
death, and surfing is what’s been helping her heal.


Brock Parker is the new bad boy at school; he deals drugs to the high
school clientele for his parents, who work for a Mexican drug lord.
Though Brock and Kendra come from two different worlds, sparks fly when
they meet at the homecoming dance—their attraction is magnetic. When
they start a game of 21 Questions one night, they begin to learn more
about each other—and, surprisingly, about themselves too. But some
questions aren’t answered with the whole truth; after all, Brock can’t
tell Kendra what his parents do for a living.


As Kendra and Brock experience all of life’s most exciting firsts, they
prove that even when life throws you the perfect storm, you can make it
through and come out stronger than before. 21 Questions is a coming-of-age journey packed with passion and heartbreak, risk and romance.

Alexandria Rizik is an award-winning filmmaker and the author of two books, the poetry collection Words Written in the Dark and the children’s book Chocolate Milk. She was born and raised in Scottsdale, Arizona, where she was brought up by a large Armenian family. She received her bachelor of arts in English literature from Arizona State University. Alexandria’s love for writing began when she was a young child: her aunt bought her a journal and told her to write her a story, and the rest is history. Her favorite part about writing is being able to write the happily ever after that doesn’t always happen in real life. Besides writing, Alexandria loves yoga, wine, and family time. She lives in Scottsdale, AZ.
