How It Feels to Float

How It Feels to Float

by Helena Fox

Biz has mastered the art of staying afloat. Immersed in her own world with friends and family, she engages in everyday teenage struggles and bliss. Yet, Biz's father, who passed away when she was just seven, remains an ever-present figure—guiding, speaking, yet not supposed to be here. She guards her secrets closely: the tumult of her thoughts, her burgeoning feelings for Grace, her awareness of Jasper, the intriguing new arrival. When a beach incident unravels the delicate balance she maintains, her father's presence dissipates, leaving a void filled with confusion and grief. Torn between the allure of vanishing into the depths of her mind and the quest to find her father, to possibly bring him back, Biz stands at a crossroad, where the unseen pathway might just hold the answer to her turmoil. In her debut novel, Helena Fox explores the complex interplay of love, loss, and the legacy of mental illness, masterfully crafting a narrative that navigates the tumultuous waters of human emotions with sensitivity and hope.
