Float Plan by Trish Doller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Critically acclaimed
author Trish Doller's unforgettable and romantic adult debut about
setting sail, starting over, and finding yourself.
Since the loss of her fiancé, Anna has spent the last year foundering on land, shipwrecked by her grief and inability to move on. But when a reminder goes off about a trip they were supposed to take, she impulsively sets off in their sailboat, intending to complete the planned voyage around the Caribbean that Ben had mapped out for them.
But after a treacherous night's sail and a brush with an ocean tanker, she decides she can’t do it alone, and hires a professional sailor to help her get to Puerto Rico. Much like her, Keane is struggling with a very different future than the one he had planned, and he can’t refuse her offer. Together they find a way to rebuild their lives and the possibility of new love.
A beautiful and poignant story about grief, love and second chances.
I loved Keane; he is probably one of the nicest and most interesting characters I have found in contemporary romance books. I liked Anna, but sometimes I could not understand her. I liked the growth they both had, though.
The story combines in a very good way a touch a romance and more important issues such as suicide, grieving and depression. The writing style is rich, powerful, and evocative of all the places the sail to. However, the first chapters were very slow for me and throughout the book; and it was hard for me to understand the sailing terms and boat parts.
Overall, it was a very enjoyable story that will make you feel and think.
