Book Review: How It Feels To Float
“Helena Fox is effortlessly ambitious with How it Feels to Float. She sweeps us into the world of Biz, an Australian teen whose thoughts fall haphazardly into readers' hands: shards so confused and hurried you can’t help but think they’re meaningless.
But as you read on, and Fox patiently waits for you to place the shards together: you find yourself standing in front of a stunning mosaic confused as to how you got there and yet sure that this is how things were supposed to come together.”
