The Girl Who Stopped Swimming
by Joshilyn Jackson
ISBN: 9781594839221 

Laurel Gray Hawthorne needs to make things pretty, whether she's helping her mother make sure the family skeleton stays in the closet or turning scraps of fabric into art quilts. While Laurel's life seems neatly on track, everything she holds dear is suddenly thrown into question.

This is my favorite Joshilyn Jackson book. Maybe it's because it was the last one I read. I loved all three of them!

Oh, my, what a beginning- have just listened to the 5 days reads and immediately went to my library site to see if it was available - IT IS - must read the rest of this most intriguing "grab you by the throat from the very beginning" book - her other two books are available as well and they seem to have the same flavor - definitely on my tbr list as well -

What an amazing beginning, the story just grabs you attention from the first sentence, no other book has ever done that with me before. Fantastic work, and a job well done!

Listening to this was definitely compelling. While the writing (I've never read this author) has to be GOOD for what the narrator does with the text, still I found myself riveted by the 'reader's' delivery. NICE CHOICE and thanks for this selection.

The narrator IS the author - I also very much enjoyed the audio - and may get the cd tho' I usually like to have book in hand - but think this may be an exception - Happy Reading or Listening! -
