Drowning Instinct by Ilsa J. Bick

5.0

This books gets under your skin and it doesn't go away. It's been a couple of weeks since I read this and I'm still thinking about it. I picked this book up on a recommendation from YA Confidential They likened it to Stolen by Lucy Christopher and highly recommended it. I agree 100%. Although, just know what you're getting yourself into. This is not a happy book. Just read the blurb, it lets you know that this isn't some book about rainbows and butterflies. It's very painful to read. The protagonist, Jenna has had it rough. Bick does an excellent job with Jenna's voice. Even though this book made me squirm A LOT, and cry a good bit, I still really enjoyed it.
