Inhaled this book! After reading the back cover copy, I was a bit turned off since I thought it was a mystery-type book. Joshilyn Jackson doesn't write mysteries; she writes New Southern Literature, the kind of books where people are seriously f*cked up because of something that happened in their southern-livin' childhood. Well, The Girl Who Stopped Swimming is no exception. Lyrical prose, beautifully-imagined pictures within my mind, and DeLop -- if you've lived in the South for any length of time, you know this kind of town. Loved it!!!
Second in the Lucy Hatch series. Life is certainly becoming interesting for widow Lucy Hatch Breward now that she's taken up with Ash Farrell. The third book, Heartbreak Town, is already in my library holds box.
