fragmentidea 's review for:

Left Drowning by Jessica Park
4.0

I've steered clear of the abuse fiction storylines for a while because it seemed that was the only conflict that authors could come up with last summer. So it's taken me a while to cleanse my literary palette to read this.

Blythe is still broken over a house fire where her parents died and her brother barely survived due to her dedication to getting him out of the house. It's been 5 years and she barely functions at her college save for notorious drinking binges. She meets Christoper and he helps her to productively work through her sorrow and guilt. Blythe and Christopher have an instant connection with some magentic chemistry.

The romance was a bit over the top.
