Review: Float by Kate Marchant

Float by Kate Marchant

Blurb from Goodreads:

Waverly Lyons has been caught in the middle of her parents’ divorce for as long as she can remember. This summer, the battle rages over who she’ll spend her vacation with, and when Waverly’s options are shot down, it’s bye-bye Fairbanks, Alaska and hello Holden, Florida to stay with her aunt.

Coming from the tundra of the north, the beach culture isn’t exactly Waverly’s forte. The sun may just be her mortal enemy, and her vibe is decidedly not chill. To top it off? Her ability to swim? Nonexistent.

Enter Blake, the (superhot) boy next door. Charming and sweet, he welcomes Waverly into his circle. For the first time in her life, Waverly has friends, a social life, and soon enough, feelings . . . for Blake. As the two grow closer, Waverly’s fortunes begin to look up. But every summer must come to an end, and letting go is hardest when you’ve finally found where you belong.

 This was a bit of a classic fish out of water/new girl read.  Nothing was wrong per se but it also didn't necessarily feel very unique.  I do love the cover and the characters weren't bad.  It also read very quick.  Just nothing earth shattering or very memorable.  You may have better luck!

Float comes out next week on February 22, 2022 and you can purchase HERE.  

Blake's hands shot off of me like he'd been burned, and he spun on his heels and grabbed the front end of his surfboard. I watched his back muscles go tense, and knew I'd lost him. Whatever he'd been about to say--or do-- was forgotten. 

And I was going to die having never kissed a boy.
