Ivelisse's Reviews > Learning Not to Drown

Learning Not to Drown was a very interesting and overall good book. Learning Not to Drown tells the story of a girl and her family living with a criminal brother. The book starts off from when the girl was a child and switches from her youth to her current age. There is much character development in the protagonist and many other characters. At first, the protagonist trusts and loves her older brother with all her might but by the end of the book, all of that trust and love is lost after her brother involves her in his crimes. Other characters such as her other brother change from a bully to an understanding person. The protagonist does make some questionable choices and at some moments in the book, I was not a big fan of her though. Overall, the book keeps you wanting to read more and is full of deception, romance, and more. I recommend it to YA readers into mystery and realistic fiction novels. It may not be everyone's cup of tea because of all the drugs, alcohol, and violence throughout the book. Overall, enjoyed reading Learning Not to Drown.
