I LOVED this book. Anyone who has ever suffered the loss of anyone can relate to Anna's grief over Ben. And Keane is just the best human. Such a soft place for her to land. I also love that the book wasn't just about falling in love again--it was really about Anna coming into her own. She is a smart main character with a lot of strength. She made mistakes but wasn't afraid to admit to them, and to open her heart too. I loved learning about sailing and also visiting the islands they visited. Although it can be sad at times, I think this is a great summer read. It has the perfect mixture of reality and tropical getaway.

This is probably one of my favorite romance's of the year! I absolutely adored Anna and as someone who is still grieving over the loss of a loved one, it was almost magical watching the healing process. The character development was outstanding, I loved the dynamic between Keane and Anna. I also felt like I was sailing right along with them, couldn't put the book down. It makes me want to learn to sail! I cannot wait to read more from this author! Thank you Netgalley, Trisha Doller and St. Martin's Press for sharing this eARC

This book was an utter delight. I honestly did not expect to love this book as much as I did but I could NOT put it down! The development of Anna’s grief, to anger, to acceptance was very emotional, raw and authentic. This was a fantastic read and I am already hoping for a sequel!

I absolutely loved this book. The story was so original, the characters were loveable. I'm so glad I read this book, I flew through it in a day!

When reading Float Plan by Trish Doller, I instantly fell into the world of this book. The emotion the characters went through, was impeccable. I felt as if I was going through their feelings right there with them. I enjoyed how easy the writing style was and how this is a cutesy book that also dives into more serious topics. I think if anyone is looking for a nice, summer read that has more than just romance this is your book!

I adored this quick read. I was a little nervous it would be really heavy, knowing the backstory of Anna and Ben. While their are definite moments of grief, there were so many second chance, forgiveness aspects that I loved. I couldn’t put it down once I started. It left me feeling happy for our Anna and Keane. I would definitely read more of their adventures.

This is not a standard romance. This is a book about a young woman, Anna, trying to cope with the loss of her fiancé after he commits suicide. Ten months after his death she receives a calendar-notice: it is the day they would have left on a sailing trip to the Caribbean. And Anna takes the boat Ben left her and goes... onto an adventure and towards healing. But sailing is not that easy on your own with not much experience and she needs help to finish the trip. Fortunately, Keane is there in her hour of need.

Keane also has his demons. After losing part of his leg in an accident his dream of sailing was cut short. Sailing with Anna and adopted dog Queenie they both come to terms with what they want and need.

I thought this was a beautiful story of healing and love!

I did not expect to enjoy this book as much as I did. Part adventure, part romance, part learning to lose and live again and find yourself in the process. It was both fun and heartwarming. I’d surely recommend it to all. Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced copy.

This is the romantic sea escape we all need right now! This book drew me in from the cover. A women with a broken heart, a boat, the Bahamas and a hot Irish love interest. YES please! I'll take two! Seriously, I need a sequel.

I didn't want to put this book down, it was like a gorgeous Caribbean vacation in my head. Now I wish I hadn't fought so hard against sailing lessons as a kid. I fell in love with Doller's depictions of "boat life" and "boat people" and of course, her characters - the swoon-worthy, wandering soul Keane and the brave, pirate-in-the-making Anna.

The way the characters in this book came into each other's lives at the right moment to heal each other was deeply touching. My "aha moment" came with Anna's line, "I'm starting to understand that some people come into your life when you need them, and go when it's time."

"Float Plan" is a refreshingly hopeful, uplifting testament to the wonders of nature and the healing power of love. Read it on the beach in your backyard this summer. #SavetheOceans

Anna is dealing with the suicide of her beloved Ben and decides to go on the sailing trip he/they planned. Along the way, she discovers new things about herself and life after such a loss. I would enjoy reading other books based on characters we've met in this one. Looking forward to more by this author!

SO CUTE! I read this book SO fast, that I honestly wish I had savored it more while I was reading it. It was THAT good! I found the love story between Keane and Anna so deep and well-developed. I was drawn to it because I thought it would be a cute, easy read, but it was so much more impactful that I thought. I could not recommend this enough for any romance/drama lovers! Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Griffin for a copy of this book for an honest review.

Y'all, I love this book. Love it. It's so good.
I absolutely loved the lead characters. Their highs and lows, their adventure, and their struggles with their own inner demons all felt so authentic.
This is one I wish I had in paperback and not just kindle.
A heads up, there are some trigger warnings: Suicide & Grief.

So grateful to NetGalley and the author for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this book! Anna decides to sail the route Ben, her fiance chose, after he commits suicide. She quickly realizes she cannot handle the ship alone and hires Keane to assist her. Anna is a strong woman working to get over Ben. She is determined to learn everything about sailing. Keane loves sailing but after losing his leg, his options are limited even though he is capable. Together they share friends along the way, the many interesting places they visit, and their families with us. I felt I was sailing along with them, soaking up the history of the islands from Turks and Caicos to Puerto Rico. A true delight!

LOVED THIS BOOK!

Anna starts her journey with losing her fiancé to suicide. She’s devastated. She decides to take their boat on the trip around the Caribbean that they had planned to take together. She’s a mess, she barely knows how to sail. Enter Keane, a disabled sailor who she hires to help her complete the trip. Who just happens to be a handsome, super nice Irishman, who had a few issues of his own to overcome.

As a reader we start this book heart broken and with Anna we feel every high and every low of her emotional journey. Great writing set with a backdrop of the Caribbean and a dash of some great supporting characters made this a 5 star read for me.

A powerful book about love, loss, and the redemptive power of the human heart. What happens when two people who have faced huge losses find each other? I highly recommend this enjoyable read.

I really enjoyed this novel. I loved the setting of the sea and sailing and the entire premise of the story. I really liked the descriptions of all of the islands and all of the characters. I thought it was very well written. Thank you to netgalley for the ARC.

Once I started this, I couldn't put it down. The whole story from beginning to end just kept me hooked. I loved the sailing adventures and the travel. The characters of Anna and Keane were wonderful. It is a great read when you need something light but uplifting. I highly recommend it!

Trish Doller created a lovely world to get lost in for a few hours and I learned a lot about sailing along the way. The central relationship was well developed and felt authentic, and although I did not feel much emotional attachment to any character, it was pleasant to watch them process their emotional baggage and find a way to move forward. Would be a great beach read!

Float Plan by Trish Doller follows Anna, who 10 months after her fianceé commits suicide, she sets sail on their boat on a trip they had planned before his death She enlists the help of Keane, a professional sailor, to help guide her on her journey. The book deals with Anna coming to turns with her grief and learning how to rebuild her new life.

Despite the fact that this book deals with heavy topics such as grief, it was so enjoyable to read. The chemistry between the two leads is super entertaining and had me thoroughly engaged throughout the book. I loved the travel aspect of this novel and felt like I was there in the places the protagonist was. I also enjoyed the way this book dealt with grief in different ways. I highly recommend!

I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book was such a thrill to read, you've got Anna who is trying to come to terms with the suicide of her boyfriend and all she has is this boat and his plan to sail out.
Along the way she meets Keane and the two each wallowing in their grief enjoy life in the waters and you cannot help but wish them the very best. It's truly beautiful to read about love, losing a loved one and finding love again.
Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.
