   Top Five Books of 2019 (221) Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro.   ) willowzz | Jun 27, 2023 |  Warnings for some sexual assault in first quarter of book, and quite a bit of scenes and talk dealing with suicide. (  ) mutantpudding | Dec 26, 2021 | How It Feels to Float is a contemporary YA novel about a 17-year-old named Biz who has seen her father floating around her since she was young, telling her about her life when he was alive. Up until a night at the sand dunes when he suddenly stops. Biz then goes on an adventure to find him again. The first person voice of Biz, a teenager battling through her mental health, is so beautifully written that I fell immediately in love with her. There are parts where you're not 100% positive that they happened the way Biz shares, but that's due to her floating. As someone who has had her own mental health issues, it's nice to read a voice similar to what goes on in my head sometimes. ( ) oldandnewbooksmell | Sep 24, 2021 | "How it Feels to Float" feels very ephemeral, though at times repetitive, it is an overall poetic read. "It's too much to ask of a human . . . [T]o love someone who lives outside your body, whose life you can't control. You can't hold anything still. You can't be sure anything will be okay. You can't stop the sky from falling."

HTML:A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year A Chicago Public Library Best of the Best of the Year "Profoundly moving . . . Will take your breath away." ??Kathleen Glasgow, author of Girl in Pieces A stunningly gorgeous and deeply hopeful portrayal of living with mental illness and grief, from an exceptional new voice. Biz knows how to float. She has her people, her posse, her mom and the twins. She has Grace. And she has her dad, who tells her about the little kid she was, and who shouldn't be here but is. So Biz doesn't tell anyone anything. Not about her dark, runaway thoughts, not about kissing Grace or noticing Jasper, the new boy. And she doesn't tell anyone about her dad. Because her dad died when she was seven. And Biz knows how to float, right there on the surface??normal okay regular fine. But after what happens on the beach??first in the ocean, and then in the sand??the tethers that hold Biz steady come undone. Dad disappears and, with him, all comfort. It might be easier, better, sweeter to float all the way away? Or maybe stay a little longer, find her father, bring him back to her. Or maybe??maybe maybe maybe??there's a third way Biz just can't see yet. Debut author Helena Fox tells a story about love and grief, about inter-generational mental illness, and how living with it is both a bridge to someone loved and lost and, also, a chasm. She explores the hard and beautiful places loss can take us, and honors those who hold us tightly when the current wants to tug us out to sea.
