The Floating Girls
by Lo Patrick
I grabbed The Floating Girls because it gave me Where the Crawdads Sing vibes just by reading the blurb. While where are some similarities… it didn’t hook me like Crawdads did.
Kay is a 12 year old girl living in the marshes of Bledsoe, Georgia. Her family is poor and dealing with a number of things. She meets the neighbor boy, who’s about her age, and takes a liking to him very quickly.
Her two brothers, Peter & Freddy, are also a huge part of the story. Peter acts like a third parent & Freddy tries to do right all the time.
Sarah-Anne, her sister, is said to be a weird child who never talks and always stares into space. Kay doesn’t seem to care too much about Sarah- Anne and claims she’s never “there”.
Her parents, Clay & Sue-Bess, are spacey, as well. Clay can’t hold a job.. Sue-Bess sleeps all the time.
The Floating Girls is told from Kay’s POV which at times was hard to follow because she would be talked about present tense and then start talking about something that’s happened in the past & has been talked about numerous times already.
The story took a while to hook me and the ending.. left me with more questions.
