Swimming to Lundy is a poignant and life-affirming tale of dealing with grief and loss and personal growth and finding one’s footing. The story did lag a bit at times, but it was so beautifully written it was well worth continuing.

Amanda Prowse did a nice job narrating the audiobook.

Thank you Amanda Prowse, Brilliance Audio, and NetGalley for providing this ARC for review consideration. All opinions expressed are my own.

The book moved way too slowly. I had trouble staying interested.

I like the characters but it felt like it took several chapters for the story to move forward and I even sped the book i hopes it would improve the pace but alas, it did not.

It was a real shame because the writing is beautiful and the story, pwerful.

3 stars

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this book.

Unfortunately I just couldn’t get in to the book. I tried. I DNFed it at about 30%. I really did want to like it but just couldn’t.

Sadly I just couldn't get into this book by a new to me author. The cover was very intriguing and alluring but I found the story overall slow moving and hard to connect with the multi cast of characters. It was only okay on audio and just not one I felt compelled to finish. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital and audio copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

It was raw and beautiful and I cherish this feeling. With a satisfying sigh and a full heart I just want to tell everyone how much I loved this. It was a story about love, life and loss and it was so good. I listened to it as a audiobook and it was narrated by the author and she was brilliant! I think she should do more. She was perfect for it of course and I felt everything. The writing is touching and heartfelt with a beautiful ending. I highly recommend it and hope you pick it up.
Thanks Brilliance Audio via NetGalley.
