Loved all the dolphin contribution
A pleasurable, easy listen about the relationship between three sisters, with added interest from all the information about dolphins occurring naturally in the story of the relationship between Carson and Blake. Also a sympathetic portrayal of a child with Asperger's.

Good story but
I enjoyed the story. It took a chapter or so to get into it. However there were a few times where a sentence was repeated due to an error in the reading so not edited fully.

Three sisters reunited
I did enjoy this especially the first half.
I had thought that each sister would have been given more depth and plot but only one of them was properly ‘fleshed out!’
Some interesting details about a variety of subjects - dolphins, water sports and autism. Not things which are normally combined.
Nice atmosphere in the old family home and small town.
Lovely warm descriptions of beach experiences.
I liked how it had an open ending.
The recording had not been edited very well and there were many places where the narration duplicated sentences. This was irritating.
The narrator had a beautiful soft and gentle voice though, which was a pleasure to listen to.

Body focussed
I was really taken back by the negative comments about plus sized women and the focus on body shape in these days and times

Good book.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book although it took me a little while to get into it. A lovely story with no swearing, see or violence. I have just started 2nd book so hopefully it will be good too.

Enjoyable and informative
Great story and true life regarding marine wildlife. Each character was well defined and identifiable. Having seen the dolphins at Tybee Islad,, George,, and being able to follow Sulivan on a map, I could imagine it all. It has certainly .are me think about the dos and don'ts.
