Floating Underwater follows a woman's astonishing journey through the extraordinary and, ultimately, to her own self-actualization and power. Fearful that her lifelong premonitions not only predict the future but can also change its very course, Paloma Leary is devastated when her latest vision foretelling a third miscarriage comes true. Falling into a mystifying world of increasingly bizarre phenomena, including a psychic connection with her mysterious neighbor, out-of-body experiences, and visits from her long-dead mother, Paloma grows desperate for answers. She is also desperate to start a family. But when a life-changing vision reveals a tragic secret from the past, Paloma learns to accept her gifts and embraces a far different future than she ever could have imagined.

I really enjoy a good magical realism and while this one is a well-written and emotionally stimulating read, it took a while to get going. I don't mind slower paced books but this one seemed to go long without going anywhere.
Eventually though, all is revealed as Paloma learns what the visions that plague her are about. Serena is a loveable character and was my favorite part of this read. I loved the relationship between her and Paloma.
It's heartbreaking what Paloma goes through and sharing in her grief and her loss will definitely tug at the heart strings. Overall, a satisfying and enjoyable read.
I sincerely appreciate the publisher and Book Publicity Services for providing me with a review copy. All opinions expressed herein are mine and mine alone.
