This book was highly recommended to me, and I must say, I am extremely pleased that I decided to acquire it. It has proven to be a truly exceptional read that I am thoroughly enjoying.

"How It Feels to Float" is a captivating and emotionally resonant novel. It delicately explores themes of mental health and self-discovery with grace and sensitivity. The writing is beautifully crafted, drawing readers into the protagonist's journey and making them feel deeply connected to her experiences. It's a thought-provoking and moving read that leaves a lasting impact.

This book had a slow start but ultimately ended up being so good. The story is told in such a unique way and it really delves into the issues of depression and grief. I felt like I could relate to the main character and understand where she was coming from. It was hard to put down after the initial slowness. Highly recommend to anyone that’s dealt with mental illness and grief.

This book was so amazing, I would even say it’s one of the best books I’ve ever read. There were so many layers and just when you thought you understood what’s happening BAM you have no idea what’s happening. I felt such a strong emotional connection and I felt understood. I lost my father just a few months ago and I connected to how she felt and the grief. It’s just so incredible. I let my best friend read it too and they loved it so I ended up buying them their own copy. If you love a good sad deep book that you can connect with… buy it.

I expected more from this book, so I have come away a bit disappointed. It would be more striking to someone who maybe is less... dead inside. Idk. I read this because it's supposed to address death trauma but I think my own trauma prevented me from feeling anything for it. This book was lauded as one that would shatter you and leave you in tears, but I didn't get that at all. It's very prosy, and I like the writing style, but the depth is just not there. It's like one of those books 25 yr olds read and then think they have the world figured out.

Thought that’s book will be small size BCS of the price but no I was wrong so far I’m loving it highly recommended

I absolutely LOVED this book. I may be a little biased because this book relates to me in every way. It explains grief in a different, more realistic way. I could not put this book down. I highly recommend!

A leitura desse livro é incrível. No início eu não conseguia parar de ler, era tudo tão poético (e às vezes bem violento) que mesmo quando eu parava de ler, ficava pensando sobre. Fala sobre luto, doenças mentais e sexualidade. São tópicos bem profundos mas escritos de uma maneira, por assim se dizer, leve. Recomendo!

The writing style flows so well, it's anyway read covering some difficult topics. I already can't wait for her next book I'm March 2024.

Llega en perfectas condiciones, pero debería llegar con un poco más de protección

It would’ve been alright if the back was dirty, but it is kind of annoying seeing a dirty book on your bookshelf.
