The Floating Girls: A Novel | 
so-soThis book had it pluses and minuses. I really loved it in the beginning and was hooked right away. Then I became frustrated by the main character Kay‘s tendency to interrupt everything and everyone where major points in the story were trying to be communicated. The author seemed to tease the reader with information that in the end we still didn‘t get. In all it‘s a decent story but would not recommend if you don‘t like to be left with questions.
THE FLOATING GIRLS by Lo Patrick
I was very disappointed in this book. It sure had potential but fell way short for me. If Kay would have been 15 or 16 I would have found her way more believable. I just didn't enjoy this one at all. I read it from start to finish waiting for something to happen that would change my opinion. It didn't happen. I realize I'm in the minority with this but I have to be honest.

panThe Floating Girls did seem to be off to a good start. I was invested in the mystery at hand while trying to make sense of Kay‘s family. When a bomb was dropped halfway through the book, I thought, “Here we go!” and I buckled up for one heck of a ride. Imagine my disappointment when I realized I wouldn‘t be going anywhere!

Watching my son this weekend play a game of Curling in Maryland reminded me of how adding pressure at some points and smoothing the path you travel can help your life move forward even when it hardly travels the path you want. Curling is full of those motions. So is The Floating Girls by Lo Patrick!
A girl investigates her mysterious new neighbors, a kidnapping, and a murder, only to find out her parents may have a role in it all.
Out July 12th
