Drowning by T.J. Newman
5.0

Books are meant to evoke feeling. This book did that. You felt the anxiety play throughout the ordeal that is this book. You felt the fear. The love. I won't say too much about this book, but in the latter half. The whole scene after Ira dies and Ruth's story about the fight after their first anniversary "so we're fighting. I'm exhausted. Finally I say 'forget this, I'm leaving'..... Ruth took a deep breath and says "you can't leave me! You don't know how to make the coffee!" really resonated with me on a personal level and evoked a whole lot of emotion. On top of this book hitting hard, it was an incredible story from start to finish and a very enjoyable read. Big kudo's T.J. Newman
