Like Water | Rebecca Podos
Like Water is an unforgettable story of two girls navigating the unknowable waters of identity, millennial anxiety, and first love, from the acclaimed author of The Mystery of Hollow Places. In Savannah Espinoza's small New Mexico hometown, kids either flee after graduation or they're trapped there forever. Vanni never planned to get stuck--but that was before her father was diagnosed with Huntington's disease, leaving her and her mother to care for him. Now she doesn't have much of a plan at all: living at home, working as a performing mermaid at a second-rate water park, distracting herself with one boy after another.That changes the day she meets Leigh. Disillusioned with small-town life and looking for something greater, Leigh is not a "nice girl." She is unlike anyone Vanni has met, and a friend when Vanni desperately needs one. Soon enough, Leigh is much more than a friend. But caring about another person threatens the walls Vanni has carefully constructed to protect herself and brings up the big questions she's hidden from for so long.

I took this as a recommendation from Booktube and I definitely liked it. I won't go much into details, that'll be like spoiling it. It's a refreshing read and has a gradual pace. Didn't real bore me at any point of time, keeps you hooked. A good summer read.
3.8/5🌟

I knew that this was a Lambda winner, so I stuck with it during the early part that has the bisexual 18-year-old Latina in a tiny New Mexican town flirting and having sex with a lot of guys—not my kind of story. Savanna‘s father has Huntington‘s—that part is interesting—and then she falls for a troubled young woman who‘s new in town. I ended up feeling quite affected by this #audiobook, narrated by Kyla Garcia.

By pure coincidence, I‘m listening to two audiobooks in a row that are narrated by Kyla Garcia. She does a good job, so I‘m not complaining.

The teenage daughter of a Huntington‘s patient ponders whether to get tested, and whether to leave home and small-town life for college. Through it all, she sleeps with boys and falls in love with a girl. #DiverseBooks #QueerBooks #LGBTQ
