The Weight of Water by Sarah Crossan (Bloomsbury, 2013)
Synopsis Armed with a suitcase and an old laundry bag filled with clothes, Kasienka and her mother head for England. Life is lonely for Kasienka. At home her mother's heart is breaking and at school friends are scarce. But when someone special swims into her life, Kasienka learns that there might be more than one way for her to stay afloat. (Goodreads)
I won't be using the bullet point format for this post because this is going to be a quick one. I like the way Sarah Crossan writes, even if I am wary of verse-type books. I am not a fan of poetry, and I don't want to spend time trying to decipher this and that in a work of fiction.This sounds poetic but straight to the point. This isn't one of her strongest works though. She is currently known for her 2016 release 'One', and that was really good. Her use of words weren't as powerful here as it was in One, but it was still a solid read.
