"I absolutely adored this book! I couldn't put it down for a single moment. It was such a joy to read from beginning to end. I truly gave this book five stars, as it was an effortless and delightful experience. Sometimes, we all need a little saving, and for Kate, having a newborn baby means she is almost never alone. However, that doesn't mean she isn't lonely. The move from London to Somerset with her husband, Jay, was supposed to be the start of an exciting new chapter. But sometimes, she can't help but wonder if she turned the pages too soon.

Phoebe needs help. As a mental health nurse serving her community, the wellbeing of her patients has always come before her own. Yet, there's only so long she can pour from an empty cup.

Looking for a lifeline, Kate and Phoebe find a sense of community - and each other - through their local river swimming group. But when things get tough, they realize that good friends can both raise us up and stop us sinking.
