Genre: Life
My rating on a 1-10 scale: 8.5
Type: Fiction
Number of pages: 356
Time period: Present (but it almost has a futuristic feel?)
Publisher and price: Thomas Nelson, $15.99
My overall opinion: Wow. In all seriousness, through most of this book, I had no clue what I was thinking of it. And no clue what was going to happen next. That being said, I was glued to it – hard to put down, easy to pick up. Erin is a splendid author, an excellent writer! The book was fascinating, and I recommend it especially for anyone who has enjoyed dystopian or futuristic fiction. While this book technically isn’t really futuristic or dystopian, I still came away almost feeling like it was. All in all, Afloat was a good book with a great story and some interesting Christian elements. While it didn’t make my favorites shelf, it’s still one that I’d recommend.

I haven't seen much about this one. Might have to check it out. Great review, Charity!!
Great review. Didn't read up on this one much considering there were too many others I knew I wanted to read from favored authors - have to pick and chose, ya' know? I've heard some great things about Erin, so perhaps I'll look into this one.
Thanks!
Rosie, I haven't seen it much on the web either. However, this is only the beginning of the blog tour, so hopefully more reviews will turn up! :)
Rissi, thanks! I totally understand about having to pick and choose -- do it myself quite a bit! :) Yes, if your TBR list ever runs out (oxymoron, I know) then defs check this one out. :)
