This was an easy read but I have some gripes about some aspects. Overall I liked the dual contexts of rescue swimmer and elite ballet but then both of those elements got on my nerves eventually because of how it was written.

*It was overly long
*If someone dipped a toe in the water you just knew what was coming (why repeat this again and again)
*Author kept writing about Allie sticking her tongue behind Hudson's teeth...errr, I don't think that's working for me.
*I didn't really like Allie
*I don't think the late reveal about the mother added anything

I did like
*the middle seat
*Juniper

Just balancing out all the gush with my salty thoughts.
