Edit Cast Cast overview: Jane Russell Theresa Gray Gilbert Roland Dominic Quesada Richard Egan Johnny Gray Lori Nelson Gloria Robert Keith Every page, every sentence, every word is authentic. This book made me hold my breath. This book made my heart hurt. This book made my eyes widen. This book made me compulsively turn pages. The words were alternately claws digging into me, sirens in my ears, weight on my chest, tears in my eyes. What Morgan felt, I felt. I spent a lot of this book hurting because she was hurting so badly. As an author, making readers care about a character that intensely is not easy to do. This is a testament to Marisa Reichardt's jaw-dropping talent. As devastating as this book is, there is also so much hope infused in the pages. It's the kind of hope that feels slippery and out of reach at times, and that makes it real. There are different levels of hope and strength and they're intertwined. Sometimes they're twisted up in a knot but if they can get out of that knot, they can both become lifelines. When the book starts, Morgan is too scared to step onto her welcome mat. But as the story goes on, she gets stronger in so many ways. You'll cheer for every inch of her progress. If you're like me, you might cheer out loud and startle the Chihuahua sleeping on your lap. Marisa's prose is piercing. It's a storm and a lullaby. The scope of her skill as an author is enormous and I'm still in awe. She has the rare ability to write the kind of voice that not just fully absorbs a reader, but fills the reader up. Her talent is both jaw-dropping and inspiring. This is a book I need to read again. Good thing I preordered months ago! This is a book everyone needs to read. This is a book that has imprinted itself on my heart.

Why can't I be happy to be alive instead of afraid of living? If you're in between books or looking for your next great read, I highly suggest picking this novel up. I've been in such a massive reading slump lately, but this book shook me right out of it. It managed to hold my attention from start to finish, and quite honestly for a debut novel to tackle such heavy and important topics, Underwater completely took me by surprise and stunned me. Marisa Reichardt's writing is artfully balanced. Her p Why can't I be happy to be alive instead of afraid of living? Her prose is compelling, sharp, and tightly woven. Even though I wasn't able to read this in one sitting--busy, busy week for me--I was still able to fly through reading this because it was so easy on the eyes, and incredibly hard to put down. The pacing does seem to fall a little on the slow side at first, but now looking back I see that it is steadied and consistent. It never once dragged for me, nor was I ever bored, but it does take its time building up the characters in a way I can most certainly appreciate. It moves along unhurried and I think that made such a huge difference in how I was able to identify with the main character, Morgan. Speaking of Morgan, I was actually quite surprised at just how much I was able to relate to her and connect with her extreme fear of the outside world. Agoraphobia is one of those fears that I just never really understood how it could be so crippling and panic-inducing, I mean, there are lots of ways to die at home, you know? Reason 79 as to why I could never be a psychologist. Reading this book helped me to understand how one moment, one event can change everything about you. It can alter your perceptions. It can place a seed of fear inside you that, that without proper help, can grow out of control and trample you to the ground. I get that now. And I'm so much better because of it. There's also a strong focus on family, which of course I loved. Morgan's family didn't fade into the background. They were there by her side through her hiccups, her breakdowns, and her triumphs. They were supportive and encouraging and gave her the extra push she sometimes needed. But they also existed with problems of their own. You see the toll that Morgan's illness takes on her mom and brother. You understand her mother's exhaustion when she comes home from a hard day of laborious work and still have to work to keep her family together. You get that her brother has a hard time understanding what's going on. And as a bonus, you see that depression and trauma manifests in many forms through her father, who also needs help to combat demons of his own. There's also a romance and let's face it, it's of the insta-love variety. But I didn't mind it so much because it doesn't at all overwhelm the plot in my opinion, and was such a sweet addition. In fact, I think it actually added to the story by showing the importance of Morgan moving forward by reconnecting with not just past friendships but also engaging in new and intimate ones. And okay, maybe the book could have done without it by just allowing Evan and Morgan to blossom as friends, but I still swooned over Evan like it was nobody's business. More people should be talking about this book. There's a lot of depth to this novel and Marisa Reichardt tackles some very tough topics with an ease that is wholly impressive and feels honest and unforced. Underwater isn't a perfect novel, but it deserves every last one of these five stars I'm giving it. It's a moving and realistic portrayal of trauma, and although it's a short, quick read it packs quite a punch. View all 12 comments.

Absolute magic. I feel like my review won't do this masterpiece justice. Maybe that's why I've taken so long to finally do so. I am so fond of the cover and the UK version, too. Have you seen it? Have you? I could brag about the covers of YA for hours, believe me. But before this becomes a giant discussion post, instead, let's fangirl over Underwater. Morgan has it good. She's surrounded by a lovely troupe of friends and takes great joy in swimming. But after play Magic. But after playing an unintentional role in a high school shooting, Morgan becomes a shell of herself and locks herself in her apartment to cope. Agoraphobic and suffering from anxiety and PTSD, Morgan finds herself only able to face her mother, her little brother, and her therapist. So when a new boy, Evan, moves into the apartment complex, fresh from Hawaii. She's not only taken by his handsomeness but his charisma. After Morgan is convinced she scared him off in their introduction, he returns day after day, charming as ever. As Morgan slowly lowers her walls, the relationship between she and Evan blossoms. I was struck by this story. It's phenomenal. I was shaking during certain portions. I was tearful. And when I finished, I immediately wanted to start over and reread. Still craving that grilled cheese, BTW. This debut is so special and memorable and breathtaking, everyone needs to place this at the very top of their TBR. A gorgeous, gorgeous YA filled with great friends, great grilled cheeses, real emotions, an understanding family, and the dreamiest boy. I still have tears in my eyes.
