Read about another entry on the list.How to Kill Your Best Friend by Lexie Elliott is about a group of friends who have known each other from college swim team. When Lissa drowns, her friends gather to honour her life at the luxury island resort she owned with her husband. Slowly the friends begin to question why Lissa died, when she was the strongest swimmer amongst them – and what made her do a night swim in dangerous water? Many of the scenes take place in the ocean and I loved all the detail of swimmers’ bodies and techniques.
