This is a brilliant, inventive, gripping young adult book that will delight teens while perhaps terrifying their parents. Against the rules, and against the odds, he becomes her ally, and so much more. Mr Anderson is a Chemistry teacher and athletics coach, but he’s more than that to Jenna.
But then she meets someone, someone special who is kind to her, pays attention to her, looks out for her. Being the new kid at school adds to an already iffy situation (parents who ignore her angst in favour of their own a brother who enlisted to get away from them) and she’s not really looking forward to term starting. Jenna is 16 years old, and fresh out of a psychiatric hospital when her parents enrol her at a new high school in the wilds of Wisconsin. (These are the most interesting stories of all.) Drowning Instinct is a novel of pain, deception, desperation, and love against the odds-and the rules.Summary: A dark teen book about a forbidden relationship, this is a great, gripping read And there are stories where it's hard to be sure who's a prince and who's a monster, who is a victim and who should live happily ever after. (This is not one of those stories either.) Mitch Anderson is many things: A dedicated teacher and coach.
There are stories where the monster gets the girl, and everyone cries for his innocent victim. And then, of course, there was the time she almost died in a fire. She used to count on her older brother-until he shipped off to Iraq. Her father is a controlling psycho and her mother is a drunk. (This is not one of those stories.) Jenna Lord's first sixteen years were not exactly a fairy tale. There are stories where the girl gets her prince, and they live happily ever after.
