What does it take to rise from life’s depths, swim against the current, and breathe?Weighted down by the loss of her parents, Blythe McGuire struggles to keep her head above water as she trudges through her last year at Matthews College. Then a chance meeting sends Blythe crashing into something she doesn’t expect—an undeniable attraction to a dark-haired senior named Chris Shepherd, whose past … whose past may be even more complicated than her own. As their relationship deepens, Chris pulls Blythe out of the stupor she’s been in since the night a fire took half her family. She begins to heal, and even, haltingly, to love this guy who helps her find new paths to pleasure and self-discovery. But as Blythe moves into calmer waters, she realizes Chris is the one still strangled by his family’s traumatic history. As dark currents threaten to pull him under, Blythe may be the only person who can keep him from drowning.
This book is intended for mature audiences due to strong language and sexual content.

One of my favorite books! Really interesting, flawed characters and surprising twist.
Blythe is drowning the pain of losing her parents in a keg of beer. She just can’t cope, even after 4 years. But twice in one day, she met two different men, brothers actually, that will change her view of the world and herself.
First, we meet Sabin, who steals her coffee and is hilarious about it. He’s definitely going to be a lot of fun. Then …
Interesting parallels in the lives of 2 main characters from childhood to adulthood. Some of the characters are just enough eccentric to be believable and not so much to be a complete turn-off.
