About this deal

I am dead in infinite alternate universes. I am mostly and most likely dead. I am dead, now, here. all doors opening, all doors closed. I loved the relationships Biz built with Jasper and Sylvia. Not at all what you'd expect, but simply perfect. I'd started my summer wanting to become someone else. Someone cooler. Someone braver. But I hadn't become someone else - I'd become myself, but better." I wholeheartedly loved Waverly, she's a character you instantaneously connect with as she makes her first appearance. She's awkward, has her moments with self esteem but she also carries a lot of love for the world. For some reason it was refreshing to read a story told through the point of view of an awkward teenager as compared to someone who's sure of themselves (but that's just a personal opinion)

How It Feels To Float by Helena Fox was written in quite a unique style. Its flowing prose captured my attention from the beginning and drew me in in a subtle way at first and then became more addictive as I got deeper into the story. The author, Helena Fox, drew from her own experiences of mental illness, to make How It Feels to Float believable and yet unpredictable. It was hard to put down once I started reading it. My emotions were all over the place as the story progressed. I didn’t fully understand the whole photos would speak to her and she wanted to travel to places her dad had been so that she could see him again. But I guess that’s the point - we don’t always understand how others cope, how others mind’s are affected by things.

Ooh also props to the romance, it was very cute and mostly not what I expected because I'm not sorry to admit but I almost expected it to be based on a lie but it wasn't, it was quite ethical and genuine so that's most certainly appreciated. To start with, the book is written in a wonderfully unique style. I can see that this wouldn't exactly be everyone's cup of tea, but it is definitely my jam. I love flowery, poetic writing. However, this book wasn't just any one way. It was at times r i thoroughly enjoyed this book. i will admit, the big and bold "wattpad books" label made me a bit nervous about the actual quality of the writing (especially given the fact that a fifteen-year-old kate marchant wrote the first half) however, float pulled through. the wattpad author stereotypes didn't even come close to the actual reality of her writing. I remember reading Float when the author was still uploading this story chapter by chapter, week by week and I enjoyed it so much. So when I saw that it was actually being published and also being turned into a film starring Robbie Amell, I was even more excited. Say what you will about Wattpad books but it's given a platform to so many writers and is certainly a non traditional publishing experience which is pretty cool. Okay so on to the review! On the other hand, I see no real cons, other than it runs a little long. Some chapters could have been cut or edited for brevity.

We stand on the path, five or so steps away from the sea. I could run and jump and in a second, I’d be in all that water. And the sea would say, “What took you so long, Biz?” It is a little quirky but there's this overwhelming sadness to the whole book that kind of makes the quirky concerning more than cute. These are some deep themes, so you need to appreciate that. Waverly and Blake's relationship just doesn't seem to form as much as just magically come into being. After one kiss she calls him her "boyfriend" and is "in love." It just feels off and not entirely believable.By the end of this book Waverly has found herself. She first thought she needed to be someone she wasn't to fit in, but by the end she had all she could ever need by just being herself even if that meant awkward moments and embarrassing interactions. Waverly is probably one of the funniest book characters EVER. She is awkward and very overdramatic. I was laughing out loud for most of this book because of some of the things she said.
