My name is Bird Howsley, and I'm a beautiful disaster. Okay, "beautiful" is probably being generous. But the "disaster" part is right. In a brutal dystopian waterworld, where survival depends on skill and smarts, I'm pretty much always one bad decision away from watching my life go completely down the drain.
Luckily, I have a lifeline: my cute, level-headed sailing teacher, Sargo Paz. Did I say cute? I didn't mean cute. He's just a friend. I definitely don't have weird sex dreams about him.
Anyway, three days ago, I got a message from a guy who's been dead for ten years. That's odd, right? I came up with a plan to go find him, but it went pretty badly sideways, and Sargo and I ended up in the crosshairs of a very sketchy underground organization that now wants us dead.
We didn't know what else to do except flee into the Salt. Now we're stuck together on Sargo's tiny sailboat, facing down pirates and harrowing seas, and things are getting, um—tense between us.
Oh, and did I mention I've been blacking out? Like . . . a lot?
Contains mature themes.

Bird is a unique main character. She's impulsive and seems to act before she thinks but actually she's thinking all the time, maybe not about things that matter in the moment. I'm not an expert but think she's a good representation of a person with undiagnosed adhd.
But the main theme in the book is sailing and escaping, surviving. Bird has to leave her hometown because a mafia organization is after her. On sea she's chased by pirates, but also makes new friends on the way.
"Pirates of the Caribean", "Waterworld" overran "the 5th Element" world you get Salt. And these are all top films I loved! So Salt is awesome.
Great dystopian adventure
