Trish Doller's Float Plan had everything I look forward to in a book.
In her acknowledgements, she said she wrote the book she has always wanted to read, turns out it was also a book that I wanted to read but had no idea until today; just as I didn't know that my dream holiday is sailing across the Caribbean.
I have almost nothing to say, and all of them are reasons for you to read Float Plan.
It was the perfect escape because it wasn't just about falling in love but also learning about grief and how to move on. And it came with sunshine, a cute doggy, and the ocean, my personal favourites.
The characters were incredibly well-written, caring, and flawed. I didn't want this book to end! The descriptions of the landscapes and towns made it feel like a trip on its own.

Who hasn’t dreamed of jumping in a sailboat and leaving everything behind? In Float Plan, grief-stricken Anna does just that—sails away to the Caribbean to escape the depression she’s been in since her fiancé committed suicide—and experiences adventure, romance, and the possibility of a new life.

This book was an absolute delight. I wanted to climb into the story and stay there forever—with the setting and the characters. Anna and Keane, though both dealing with life’s challenges, were so personable, charming, and fun. The scenery of the islands was gorgeous and inviting. The story wrapped up nicely at the end, however, I would love to see the author make this into a series.

My only drawback with the book was the excessive use of the F-word. I have to wonder why the author chose to sprinkle this profanity throughout such a sweet story. It didn’t seem realistic for one or both of the characters to constantly use this language. I found it unnecessary and distracting.

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for an ARC of this fantastic book in exchange for an honest review. I will be recommending this to all of my friends, family, book club groups, and colleagues.
