Anna's fiance committed suicide. Float Plan follows her on a sailing journey where she processes her grief. But she also learns how to move forward in many ways.
Keane saves her (many times) and helps her along in her sailing journey and with her grief.
Reading about these two going from strangers to friends to more is heartwarming. It's not forced and it happens when it feels exactly right for them.
Moderate: Suicide and Grief

With that said, this book heavily dealt with themes of suicide and grief; Anna's perspective was new to me and interesting.

Anna is a young woman who loses her fiance to suicide. She is adrift in the aftermath - grieving the loss of him, of their life, of the future they'd planned. As a widow, myself, I really identified with a lot of the emotions Anna goes through and the actions she takes.
She decides to strike out on an ambitious sailing adventure that was really her fiance's dream. Along the way, she has adventures that feel real and accessible while still carrying the allure of an epic dream of travel. She also meets Keane Sullivan - an Irish sailor capable of seemingly anything. I loved their interpersonal development.
If you've ever dreamed of epic trips, of swimming with sea turtles, of finding yourself capable of more, or have had to navigate the world after loss,I think you might love this book as much as I did.
