We're here to help. Not doing so is a slight towards the reader, and a disservice to themselves. So to help me come up with a reasonable way to weigh these opposite impressions, I made a note to myself that story-telling is a natural talent, one that comes from the heart and guts and cannot be taught.
Not so with grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Which is why I ended up giving the author the benefit of the doubt, hoping she will come back to improve the technical aspects of her writing. Therefore I am awarding the story 4 stars. The cover image of a bluish head over which you can discern the flow of water is somewhat morbid, and fully becoming of the theme of the story, which includes an episode of physical drowning as well as that feeling of suffocation Euly feels, faced with the secrets in her family.
She is far from being a 'likable' protagonist, and her actions are far from following any logical reasoning, which makes for surprising twists and turns in this story. Aug 06, Kate rated it liked it. Much more meets the eye than one sees.

Jul 22, Rob Shepherd rated it it was amazing Shelves: Dark and addictive, this is a book that must be read. So effortless to read which is always the mark of a great writer. I have as varied a taste in books as I do films but inevitably come back to horror and fantasy and yet this book reminded my why having a varied taste in genres is such a wonderful gift, because once I started I couldn't put it down. I loved the development from page one up to the the last page.
Drowning by Susan Wingate needs to be o Engaging, and inspirirng. Drowning by Susan Wingate needs to be on your book list if isn't already on your shelf. Thank you Susan Wingate for a wonderful read. Cover to cover this is a brilliantly written story. Oct 08, Tina rated it liked it Shelves: Like so many other readers have said I found myself distracted and wondering if it was even proofread. It was fraught with spelling, punctuation, grammatical, and formatting errors.
The story of two sisters Euly and Enaya, a dying mother Belle who reveals a secret on her deathbed, a marriage in trouble, a literal drowning, and a metaphorical drowning. It just never really took hold for me and had I not had the opportunity to read all at one sitting I may not have come back to it.
Sep 09, Claudia rated it it was ok Shelves: Unfortunately I had a hard time getting into this book. I found the story did not flow and I had to go back and read the chapter again to follow what was going on. The best part of the book, that did not have anything to do with the story, was about the Lebanese coffee. Maybe there is a story there about a coffee cup reader.
I received this boom for free through the goodreads giveaways. Apr 17, Diana rated it it was ok. I'm glad I didn't pay much for this book. It was full of typos and grammatical errors. Reading it was almost painful at some points. The story might have been a bit better if the author had worked a bit more on its flow. I didn't care about the characters at all.
I would not recommend bothering with this one. Aug 29, Kimberly rated it did not like it. Spelling, punctuation and too many grammatical errors to mention.
Sep 10, Linda rated it it was ok. I am torn about how I feel about this book. She is a good writer, but the story was a bit thin. I felt the reason why Euly went to Arizona was not a good enough reason to leave her mothers death bed. And the relationship with the sister was a bit contrived in the end.
But I did like the way she used her words. Apr 29, Mary rated it did not like it. I was very disappointed in the format of this book on my Nook. There were grammatical and spelling errors and it was so confusing in its format. I decided to put it down without finishing it--very unusual for me! Jun 09, Susan rated it did not like it. I don't know who proofread the book but it is awful. Too many errors to even count and I only got to page of and I give up.
The story line is weak, slow and at times unbelievable. I normally do not give up on books but this one is easy to put away. Apr 21, Erin rated it liked it. This was a good story. I like the search that she went on to find the truth. However, the amount of grammatical errors made the story hard to read.
