Awesome read!

Keeps your interest with its grossly real content. I'm not sure what else made it so good, I sat here typing and deleting, typeing and deleting, none of my words seeming to describe it well enough, the word that made it what it was escaping my mind. Maybe it was the fact that towards the begining of the book Katie had reminded me of myself in her love for swim and conflict with her brother and herself. Or maybe it was the flawless writting of Jessica Warman. I'm not exactly sure why it was just a good book. Although I felt towards the end that Warman was strained in her quest to just finish the book, the last 40 or 50 pages rushed a little bit, the quality of writting not quiet as great. Also I was alittle disappointed because from reading the summery I got the feel that it would be more about swimming when it wasn't really centered on that as much as I would have hoped, but I guess that's my fault for expecting something else from a book I hadn't even read yet. Good book though. Recommended.

I found the beginning of the book quite boring and hard to connect with a drug addict brother as the role model for Katie. However, when she goes to the boarding school, it gets pretty interesting and it was a page turner from there.

I thought the book was great, but wish there was a little more excitement when it came to the middle of the book. All in all, however, it does have a happy ending for the most part. Which is kinda hard for the author to make when the main character's brother is a drug addict and threatens to kill himself every time someone talks to him. Wish there was a sequel, but it might be hard to make one.
