The Culture Buzz
I loved the transformation of Quinn. The way the author portrayed Quinn’s ability to learn how to feel joy was insightful and real. Because it was a process. I also loved the character development of Quinn’s classmates and friends. This debut book was a delight to read.

Amazon Review of Weight of Water
I adored this book on a deep level. Quinn's story of internal bravery and finding the strength to follow her dreams. After navigating a trauma bound mother, Quinn finds her strength to do what is best for her and go study abroad. She learns that family isn't always blood and determining what family looks like and feels like to her. "But she was here. She was brave. She wasn't afraid."
