![]() ![]() Avery, Colin and the three little boys are the only survivors. About an hour into the flight, for reasons which are never made clear, their plane crashes into a lake high in the Colorado Rockies. Around her are 200 other passengers and crew, including three little boys, all from different families. He is better than Michael Phelps and it is expected he will go all the way to the Olympics and win a swag of gold medals there.Īvery and Colin end up sitting together on the plane, much to Avery’s dismay. Colin is a fairly closed book to Avery and her swim team companions but what is undisputed is his talent. ![]() I say mostly because the listener has to intuit some of the story. Avery has been avoiding Colin ever since she started college, for reasons which mostly become clear over the course of the book. ![]() Also on the plane are swim team co-captain Phil Markey, and star swimmer Colin Shea. Told in first person from Avery’s point of view, the book begins when she is heading home to Boston for Thanksgiving. ![]() She is on their prestigious swim team and she has loved the water since she first learned to swim at age 3. Nineteen-year-old Avery Delacorte is a sophomore at a San Francisco college. I admit I spent a good part of the book worrying, but there is a happy ending. The blurb sounded interesting too and I figured I was safe as it was categorised as romance. I was attracted to it by the narrator to be honest, as Julia Whelan is a favourite of mine. Girl Underwater is Claire Kells’ debut novel. ![]()
