A review by norasbooknooks
Sweet Water by Christina Baker Kline

3.0

I wish we could give half stars on GR because this one is more like a 3.5 for me. Slow start but picks up by page 100-ish; I’m attributing the slow start to the fact this is her first book. (Didn’t realize it was published in the 1990s.) There is a psychological thriller aspect, southern fiction and family drama included, too.

There are some triggers in this book so use caution (abuse, death, infidelity - none of that gives away the story or plot).

Overall I’m glad I read it and I can see why reviews are mixed. I hoped for a bit more at the end but I guess maybe not everything needs to be said.
