A review by locpressedbooks_
Drowning by T.J. Newman

adventurous challenging dark emotional mysterious sad tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.25

Real shit, the only reason this is getting 4 stars instead of 5 is because of how the one black character was portrayed. 

1. Playin on the stereotypes w/ her being unable to swim 
2. And her being the comic relief 

Those two things aside, it still was a good book.
