On one hand my heart was breaking for Jenna and I was dying for her, but you know what? I couldn’t cry any tears for her. Now I knew this book was going to be heavy, I just didn’t know how heavy. (These are the most interesting stories of all.)ĭrowning Instinct is a novel of pain, deception, desperation, and love against the odds-and the rules. A man with a certain… magnetism.Īnd 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. Mitch Anderson is many things: A dedicated teacher and coach. (This is not one of those stories either.) There are stories where the monster gets the girl, and we all shed tears 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 Afghanistan. Her father is a controlling psycho and her mother is a drunk. Jenna Lord’s first sixteen years were not exactly a fairytale. There are stories where the girl gets her prince, and they live happily ever after.
