missurmeaning 's review for:

Florence Adler Swims Forever by Rachel Beanland

---

I was waiting for at least a small moment of secret revelation, simply because I was preparing myself for tears, haha (well, why not? I actually set myself up to hear that heartbreak and how Fannie would cry)

Overall, I really liked the book, even though it wasn't exactly summery. "Living in the heads" of the characters and hearing their thoughts was very interesting.

Things with Isaac are a bit ambiguous. I still want to see more books where a couple, despite their own struggles and obstacles (like Fannie and Isaac), still stay together. Something like the second chance romance trope. But that's just my opinion. Knowing all the crap they went through, I still hoped they would be together because people don't always do the right thing. And just leaving isn't always a good option. Sometimes, you need to face the consequences and learn to live with it.

I don't know, consider this the final stage of delusion.
