(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

Well written, but I swear this book made me feel like I was the one with a concussion! I felt like I was dazed and had a headache, just as the character did. It wasn't a pleasant experience.

I don’t know how I would give this book a true rating but for pure entertainment? All the stars.
Dating a rich doctor for his rooftop swimming pool is something I would do any day. Go Allison.
