Girl Out of Water by Nat Luurtsema
4.0
Disclaimer: I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
There are funny books, and there are laugh out loud until your sanity is questioned books; this was the latter. Lou was extremely relatable in her awkwardness. The family dynamics were realistic and amusing, and when things got heavy, everyone was very supportive of each other. I want Lou’s sister. And her parents. Actually, let me just join her family. The romance was very sweet, and I loved that the love interest was a Nice Guy, but he wasn’t the stereotypical Mr. Perfect™. The slow build of the side story, showing the dangers of competitive sport, was very eerie, especially the moment I realised what was happening.
Biggest takeaways: you shouldn’t expect to have your life sorted at 16, and dreams can change.
Read if you love TV talent shows like Britain’s Got Talent!
