The Girl Who Could Breathe Under Water
This is a hard book to review. I really enjoyed it. The writing style is exactly what I like. The point of view challenged me as a reader. It had great character growth and an interesting plot. The issue is it is marketed as Christian fiction, but there aren't really any Christians present in the story. There are some vague references to God and who you were created to be, but there is also a rather graphic sex scene and a lot of drinking. This book also needs a strong trigger warning as it deals with sexual abuse. So, while I personally enjoyed the story, I would not recommend it to the typical Christian reader that is looking for a clean read that obviously points to Christ. If you don't mind being challenged and reading something more edgy, you might enjoy this book.
I received a copy of this book for review form the publisher and Netgalley.
