3.5

A book written in a completely monotone POV from the main character, which surprisingly didn’t make it boring.

It was like jumping from one intrusive thought to another, with some good ole it‘s going to be alright and I‘m fine when I‘m clearly not mashed together.

Would recommend to people who love to swim.

(adjusted from 4 to 4.25)
the writing style was alright, like why don't characters use contractions in dialogue. that's so weird. but i loved the main character. she just wanted to swim and that's it. me too girlie. i wish there was more at the end though, like a confirmation that

she wasn't pregnant

.
also Fleabag reference. we stay winning
