I related with the main character and the storyline of this book. You can love to do something, you can be incredible, but what happens when you can't be what you were anymore? You're not getting better. What if you quit and have regrets. Though I was never a competitive swimmer, or even synchronized swimmer, I loved this book.
Overall, I thought this novel was a fun, light read. Even though the main character is a little young, younger than is usually done in the YA genre. , I felt that it had to be this age because as I mentioned before, this is when decide whether to quit or continue. I visit my local middle and intermediate schools, and I would recommend this title to them; as well as recommend this more to readers that used to be, or still are, swimmers, just because it's easier to connect with the main character, Lou.
Do yourself a favor and read this book!
Lou places last in her meet and finds herself separated from her best (and only) friend Hannah, who is off to train for the Olympic swimming team. Lonely and kicked off her school’s swimming squad, Lou struggles to fit in and find purpose in life.
A chance encounter with three boys at the pool gives Lou something too do, training the boys as synchronized swimmers for a chance to audition for a British talent show.
Lou struggles with her new students/kind of friends, and everything seems to go wrong, until her wacky family helps out.
I laughed out loud with this one. Lou is just loveable as a character and her family are amazing (divorced parents friendly and living together, her sister Lav, who is a girly girl but also very supportive and loving to Lou). READ THIS BOOK!
