Review of 'Bodies of Water' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

A tale of loss and gains and, ultimately, gratitude. Approaching this as a young adult novel, I loved many passages that reached out as messages to young minds without ever seeming like instruction. The first person voice of the main character is inclusive, keeping the reader engaged in the mystery as Anna grapples with her grief and her suddenly changing life. Couldn't put it down, and enjoyed traveling through her summer with Anna and the people in her life.
