Mental health matters people! Maybe if the adults in Molly’s life had been a little more open to listening, then the whole scene at the pool wouldn’t have happened. I honestly felt so relieved when they said that Molly had been diagnosed with a phobia and it was accepted as an excuse. She doesn’t even both to ask Molly why she feels that she actually can’t swim, let alone won’t. The fact that Molly, previously an outstanding student when to the lengths of forgery to escape having to swim might indicate something more is going on. While overall I did like this book, for the first third it was all I could do to not rip out all the pages and scream at the top of my lungs. She goes to Maine to visit her father, and there her hallucinations become more real than ever as she recognizes the house as the one from her dreams. It’s a confusing book to explain but basically a high school girl has a phobia of water that she can’t explain and confrontations with it causes her to hallucinate about another girl from a hundred years ago.
