Summary

New love. Exotic destinations. A once-in-a-lifetime adventure. What could go wrong?

City girl Torre DeRoche isn’t looking for love, but a chance encounter in a San Francisco bar sparks an instant connection with a soulful Argentinean man who unexpectedly sweeps her off her feet. The problem? He’s just about to cast the dock lines and voyage around the world on his small sailboat, and Torre is terrified of deep water. However, lovesick Torre determines that to keep the man of her dreams, she must embark on the voyage of her nightmares, so she waves good-bye to dry land and braces for a life-changing journey that’s as exhilarating as it is terrifying.

This sometimes hilarious, often harrowing, and always poignant memoir is set against a backdrop of the world’s most beautiful and remote destinations. Equal parts love story and travel memoir, Love with a Chance of Drowning is witty, charming, and proof positive that there are some risks worth taking.

Critic reviews

"A funny, irresistibly offbeat tale about the risks and rewards of living, and loving, with an open heart." ( Kirkus Reviews)

Every bit as good as the first time.

Every bit as good as the first time I read this book a few years ago.
I’m still longing for an adventure of a lifetime, guess I’m just waiting to meet “my” Ivan, but when I do I’ll remember Torre’s worts and all descriptions and do it anyway.
A really lovely book with just enough technicality and disasters to make you realise the risks involved and just enough gloss to make you start planning !
A well written lighthearted mix, definitely worth 5 stars from me. Thank you Torre.

Exhilarating and yet comforting

Didn't want 'Love with a chance of drowning' to end as I was enjoying it so much. The perfect combination of exciting yet calming and lovable. Definitely recommend giving this a read!
