The book begins with a trigger warning for suicide and dives right into it. Anna is grieving her husband's death by suicide and decides to take a solo trip on their sailboat off the coast of Florida to the British Virgin Islands. After realizing she needs help on her journey, she meets Keane, a handsome sailor guide with a prosthetic leg. Still processing her feelings as a widow, Anna takes her time with Keane. I thought Doller did such a great job being sensitive to the pain and emotional well-being one must feel after having experienced such a profound loss, and I loved the dynamic between Anna and Keane. I also loved Queenie, the little stray that stole everyone's hearts (including mine) 🩷
This was THE PERFECT vacation read, and I'm so glad I brought it on our trip!

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!
