When they say this book is genre-defying, they aren’t lying. The elements of sci-fi/fantasy/mystery all combine to create a moving story of family. I loved this read!
Cara meets Brendan after graduating college, during a time when she’s still figuring out life. They fall into a fun romance, that’s only interrupted when he leaves for military duty. She is the holder of his secrets- the biggest being that he’s genetically modified by the military to be able to breathe under water.
When he returns home he proposes to Cara and they get pregnant right away. After the baby is born Brendan is convinced he can also breathe underwater. He takes the child and leaves, afraid that someone will find them and lock them both away.
Cara finds a way to live without them, but barely. When Brendan finally appears Cara gets a second chance at life with her son. Now she needs to find out who to believe- Brendan who claims they can both breathe underwater or the government who tells her it’s all a mental disease that Brendan has.
This book was pretty interesting but the storyline with Graham was so frustrating. He was such a nice guy and deserved so much more than Cara.

The plot of this was super promising, but fell short for me and did not really keep my interest. I wanted to love this but it was deeply unsettling and the end felt unfinished.

Just too slow moving for me. There is alot of inner monologue that i just cant get into right now. I might pick it up again later but for now its a DNF @page 78.
