Learning to Swim

Troy Chance is a very intriguing character. I'm not sure that I really liked her, could see myself as friends with her and I definitely can't say that I understood her, but she was very interesting to read about.

The story is really slow, but it is so well written that I didn't mind. I was wrapped up in Troy's life. Trying to figure her out, trying to make sense of the strange and sometimes awkward decisions she made. I could understand her fierce love for the boy she saves and I loved how self aware she is. Recognizing her faults and when she's gone too far.

The story itself is a bit predictable. Nonetheless, I was interested enough to continue to go back to it!
