Blog Tour Review—Float Plan by Trish Doller

 

Book Info

Jack Copy:

Heartbroken by the loss of her fiancé, adventurous Anna finds a second chance at love with an Irish sailor in this riveting, emotional romance.

After a reminder goes off for the Caribbean sailing trip Anna was supposed to take with her fiancé, she impulsively goes to sea in the sailboat he left her, intending to complete the voyage alone.

But after a treacherous night’s sail, she realizes she can’t do it by herself and hires Keane, a professional sailor, to help. Much like Anna, Keane is struggling with a very different future than the one he had planned. As romance rises with the tide, they discover that it’s never too late to chart a new course.

In Trish Doller’s unforgettable Float Plan, starting over doesn't mean letting go of your past, it means making room for your future.

"The perfect escape. Fresh, funny, and romantic. I wish I could sail away with this book." - Meg Cabot, New York Times bestselling author of The Princess Diaries and Little Bridge series

 

Review:

I think it’s the mark of a good author to be able make you mourn for a character you barely know. Float Plan started off making my stomach twist and my heart rate to speed up. It also caused my eyes to leak. Anna’s living in a perpetual nightmare after the loss of her fiancé. What a loss it is too... 

“Even the vastness of the blue sea surrounding me feels less empty than the prospect of a life without him.“

I don’t know if it was the timing of reading the story but I was filled with immense sadness.  I felt Anna’s grief as if it were my own. I felt her fiancé Ben’s grief as if it were me. I felt it all. And it was only the second chapter. 

While I felt the underlying dark cloud surrounding the book, it’s actually a pretty uplifting romance story about living life to its fullest. To always remember that life has beautiful surprises when you least expect them. But need them the most.
