GO READ IT. Paint your own picture! :) I am very conflicted about rating this :/ I guess it's a 3.5 for me. I liked the characters. Jessica Park just knows how to create believable and honest fictional people. I admire that! The tone and pace, as well as the writing, were flawless: definitely the right mix between prose and poetry! All in all it was a good read, but I think I have to rate it down, because it was nowhere near "Flat-out Love". I know that's a tough one to follow and I didn't expect "Left drowning" to be anything like that at all (because I trusted Jessica Park's great imagination to come up with something totally different!), but I was missing a twist.
