[4.25 Stars] It's pretty rare when I wish for a book to be longer, but I wanted Float Plan to have more pages! This book was great but had the potential to be fantastic if only the characters were more fleshed out. I loved this book, even with its darker tone and themes of grief and suicide. Honestly, I had a difficult time classifying this solely as a romance novel because it felt more like a character work on healing and grief, and then added romance down the line.
The setting of this book is escapist and lush, and I loved how the Caribbean islands felt like their own character. Anna was an interesting FMC, and I also loved Keane as her counterpoint and friend. I appreciated the way Trish Doller wrote Anna's character arc so that when she was ready for a new relationship with Keane, it didn't feel like a band-aid to her grief--it felt like she was wholly ready for it.
Overall, I thought Float Plan was a heartbreaking, but beautiful book. I can't wait to read more adult fiction by Trish Doller!
