Thank you so much to net galley for sending me an advance copy of this book. I feel in love with this book and cannot wait for the sequel I would definitely recommend this book

This was such a beautiful read and inspiring! I loved both Anna and Keane as characters. They were relatable and characters you can't but help but root for. I also loved the description of the different islands and countries that they were sailing to or by. I loved the idea that they made such easy friends as they went along. I knew I was going to enjoy it, but not as much as I actually did!

The first book in the Beck Sisters series and my first time reading something by this author, this was a fantastic start to the series. This is one of those books that pulls you in from the very first page and doesn't let go till the end. I was completely engrossed and engaged in the story. It takes you on an emotional journey of pain and loss and learning to move forward afterwards. The setting of the story is unique in that most of it takes place on a boat and we follow Anna on her travels as she tries to deal with her grief. She enlists the help of Keane to assist her along the way, and their relationship starts to slowly blossom into something more. This was a beautifully written, emotional read with wonderful, endearing characters. The author also did a nice job of setting the scenes and making you feel as if you were right there. A really great read, and I plan to read more by this author in the future!

I received a complimentary copy from Netgalley and am voluntarily leaving my review.

Originally, when I had finished this book, I thought that it was good, but just as an enjoyable read. Then time went on and I noticed that my mind kept going back to this book. I kept imagining what I would do if faced with such circumstances. Not so much relationship wise, but trying to sale this boat through the Atlantic and the Caribbean along various destinations that have always appealed to me. Could I do it and survive? Probably not, but that's the beauty of being an armchair traveler. All of the fun without the danger.

The romantic angle of this book really didn't do a whole lot for me, but the story needed something to fuel this adventure. It works and kept my interest. But it was the sailing and the various encounters through the islands that truly held my interest. There was something refreshing that kept me onboard. A freeing voyage that doesn't involve swashbucklers or so many of the other rugged characters in most sailing adventures. This was more of a cleansing of the soul while finding oneself during both the storms and the calm seas through my favorite part of the world.

Thank you Net Galley for this arc!!! Loved the story and the evolvement of Anna’s character! Beautifully written and amazing development!!! Adventures to places that I now have added to my bucket list!!!

Anna is my hero. Listen, I get that there has been a romantic comedy or two about love and loss, and coming back from the dark place that takes you, but this one just felt different to me. Learning to sail BY YOURSELF is something that would scare the pants off anyone, but our girl just up and does it. She’d sailed before, but never like this.
When grief becomes Anna’s whole life, and the alarm for an epic voyage planned by her late fiancé pings on her phone, she knows it’s time to get up and do something about it. She hits the stores, packs up everything she owns, and sets off on the journey she never planned to take alone. There are super scary moments, absolutely breathtaking moments, and some giggles along the way.
This book isn’t about romance. It’s about love. Love for what’s lost, love for one’s self, and a love for what the future might hold. The connections you can make along the way just add to the fabulous story. It was an absolute pleasure to read.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

I felt like I was a sailor with them! This lovely was a lovely story about grief and living life to the fullest.

I think this would be a great book for certain people, but it just wasn't in the cards for me. I don't like reading about suicide and I'm sure there was a happy ending, but I just couldn't do it.

I absolutely loved the Float Plan by Trish Doller. Anna suffered so much during her voyage around the Caribbean, but finally felt free of her ex Ben, by the end. Keane was such a lovely character and I hope there is more of this story set in Ireland! Thanks to NetGalley for my digital copy.

I really, very much loved this book! It's set from Thanksgiving to New Year's (and a little past that) sailing on the Atlantic in the Caribbean Islands. There is so much in this book that made me smile and giggle and just feel happy for the MC as she deals with her grief. It would be a perfect beach read as it draws you to read and forget your worries. I can't wait to see what Trish Doller brings to this series!

I did not finish this book. I couldn't invest myself in any of the characters or the plot. I know it got a lot of positive feedback on social media, but it just wasn't for me.

Cannot review as Netgalley archived the book before I could read it & my new Kindle does not have this title.

A beautiful book about grief, love, and finding yourself again. Trish takes you along on a sailing adventure that you soon won’t forget. #FloatPlan

Trish Doller is a fantastic author. Her books are full of hope and experience, love and loss. I want to simultaneously fall in love and travel the world on a sailboat and confront all of my problems while reading her books. Float Plan is her first adult title and is just as wonderful as her YA.

3 - A unique plot that was moving. Anna tries to recover from her past while moving on in her future, and decides to continue with her dead fiance's boating itinerary. Boating to different islands really paints a beautiful sense of place, and the author does a nice job of voicing Anna's struggle with grief and love. Boating by one's self sounds even more traumatic however, and I am glad of the patience of the romance but eventually their chemistry and shared trauma brought them together.

Float Plan was one of my favorite reads for 2021. We all needed a story to help us process 2020 and this was it for me! I read this book in two sittings and loved every second! I have Float Plan 5 much deserved stars. I think reading a book that isn’t obviously going to well and in a perfect feel good was is so good for the soul. We all need to know that when plans change, big life plans we can shift and make a new plan and that’s ok, and sometimes better. My heart broke for Anna but I was so impressed and felt proud of her willingness to go out on her own after her boyfriend died. And can we talk about how my respect is owed to Keane?? For day one he was genuine and respectful of Anna and that’s ultimately what won her heart. This was the perfect book when I needed an escape. I dreamt of being in the Caribbean with Anna and exploring something other than my small world. My final take away was that it’s ok to start over that doesn’t mea n letting go of the past and forgetting where we’ve been or who we’ve been with but instead it means we’re making room for the future!

OMG! I just finished this book and loved it!!! Anna and Keane were so tall and the story was so amazing. I really hope we get a glimpse into Anna and Keane’s relationship. Which I’m really hoping to read soon!!! Justin a fantastic story.

Looking for a fast read? Finishing up a reading challenge this holiday weekend? Well look no further for a book that you will devour in one sitting.

FLOAT PLAN by @trishdoller @stmartinspress #griffin was released earlier this year. It’s a delightful and inspiring read about Anna, who needs to find herself again after her fiancé sadly commits suicide {trigger warning}. When the pre-schedule sailing trip she and her fiancé Ben had planned pops up on her calendar, Anna decides to take the expedition on her own, navigating the boat by herself. When she struggles with an ominous sail one night she decides there is no way she can continue on her own and hires experienced boater Keane to assist. Of course Keane is grappling with his own personal path in life and was trying to decide what to do next, so this trip was perfect for him.

Built around a beautiful sailing trip based in the Caribbean, with amazing descriptions of the scenes around the area, Trish Doller has written a delightful read about moving on, finding love again, and letting go of the past. The friends to lovers romance between Anna and Keane is sultry and sweet and Keane is every woman’s dream.

I found this to be a page turner, not only to find out what happens to Keane and Anna but because of the emotional journey. The writing was inspirational and truly hits home for anyone who has experienced loss and/or is at a crossroads in life. Trish was able to take this tragic experience for Anna and show that you really can move on again in an extremely light and delightful way. That’s not easy to do. I found myself crying tears of sadness and joy throughout this book and didn’t want the story to end. It really is an easy read.

A one and done read (one day read) I know you will devour this book just like I did. I highly recommend picking it up.

Thank you for the review copy. This book was just for me. I really love books about grief. I will share this book at a future episode on books that dive into grief.

Such an amazing story with the perfect amount of slow burn. Would recommend to every romance reader!
