Float Plan #ARC review
Critically acclaimed author Trish Doller's unforgettable and romantic adult debut about setting sail, starting over, and finding yourself
Since the loss of her fiancé, Anna has been shipwrecked by grief—until a reminder goes off about a trip they were supposed to take together. Impulsively, Anna goes to sea in their sailboat, intending to complete the voyage alone.
But after a treacherous night’s sail, she realizes she can’t do it by herself and hires Keane, a professional sailor, to help. Much like Anna, Keane is struggling with a very different future than the one he had planned. As romance rises with the tide, they discover that it’s never too late to chart a new course.
Trish Doller’s unforgettable adult debut, Float Plan, reminds readers that starting over doesn't mean forgetting: you can build a new home, right alongside the old.
Review
Anna has not yet recovered from the early loss of her fiancé and upon hearing the alarm he had placed on her cell phone reminding of the boat trip they would take together, she decides to drop everything and make the trip alone.
Problem is, she has no experience of sailing alone, because the times she sailed she was with Ben giving instructions. Even so, she is determined to face this challenge in memory of him. But so soon she realizes that really needs help if she doesn't want to be adrift and it is then that after a crazy night she meets the sweet and gentle irish Keane.
Keane has his own pains and challenges to fulfill but he cannot resist helping Anna and then as they advance through the islands programmed by Ben, they create strong bonds and the attraction between them ends up being irresistible.
As soon as I read the synopsis, I imagined that it would be a typical chicklit, but with the progress of the reading I was able to perceive the various layers of the plot and the characters. The story goes beyond Anna, it shows a little bit of Ben, a lot of Keane and presents a beautiful panorama of each island. I'm totally in love.
The ending was predictable but the way it all happened was so unexpected that I am sighing til now. A great love story.
5/5 stars
Resenha
Anna ainda não se recuperou da perda precoce do noivo e ao ouvir o alarme que ele tinha colocado em seu celular lembrando da viagem de barco que fariam juntos, resolve largar tudo e fazer a viagem sozinha.
Problema é que ela não tem experiência de navegar sozinha, pois as vezes em que navegou estava com Ben dando as instruções. Ela ,mesmo assim, está determinada a enfrentar este desafio em memória do finado. os poucos, ela vai percebendo que realmente precisa de ajuda se não quer ficar a deriva e é então que depois de uma noitada meio louca que ela conhece o irlândes Keane.
Keane tem suas próprios dores e desafios a cumprir mas não resiste em ajudar Anna e os dois a medida de que avançam pelas ilhas programadas por Ben vão criando fortes laços e a atração entre ambos acaba ficando irresistível.
Logo que li a sinopse imaginei que seria um típico chicklit mas com o avançar da leitura pude perceber as várias camadas da trama e dos personagens. A história vai alem de Anna, ela mostra um pouco de Ben, muito de Keane e apresenta um panorama lindo de cada ilha. Tô totalmente apaixonada.
O final foi previsível mas foi tão inesperada a forma como tudo aconteceu que estou suspirando até agora. Lindo demais.
