Highlight of the book is the fact when I sat down to fully invest in reading this book, I got it done in a day. So the book was completely read and I get full value for BL-opoly for my investment. Lowlights (how many there were!): 1. Literary fiction version of a "romance" - yea, there is no HEA o...
Love is inexplicable and incomprehensible. You know it when you see it. Proximity may be temporary; but love - so precious, so fleeting, yet so tenacious - never quite disappears. As many legends have sung since time immemorial: Love is a rose but you better not pick it It only grows when it's...
Rating: 4* of fiveThe Book Description: “If I’d blinked, I would have missed it. But I didn’t, and I saw something fall from the rear deck of the opposite ferry: a small, wide-eyed human face, in one tiny frozen moment, as it plummeted toward the water.” When she sees what looks like a child tumblin...

My dad, a voracious reader, recommended this book to me. He happened to come across Learning to Swim at the library, and the title intrigued him because I was a competitive swimmer for many years and he was always a supportive Swim Dad. The novel actually has very little to do with competitive swimm...
The premise is great, but the book really doesn't deliver. The characters make a lot of odd, unnatural choices. And the narrating voice is awfully flat. This should have been a suspenseful book, but it just isn't.
