Working as the assistant to the girl you hated in high school, finding your husband's dirty laundry behind the entertainment center, discovering that your life may need a few changes-Floaters, the new Blast Press novel by Brandi Scollins-Mantha, author of My Intended, captures the moment when Liz Welkirk realizes that something is just not right. Her shopping mall job, her absent husband, the empty bedroom painted pale yellow in the back corner of their house-it all adds up to a big hole that Liz must decide to dig herself out of. Not a fairy tale but a tale of real life and what it takes to begin to be happy. Praise for Brandi Scollins-Mantha's first novel, My Intended: 'Beautiful imagery and eccentric secondary characters greatly enhance this unusual story." -Booklist 'An odd first effort, secretly a love story, sweetened by its understated melancholy." -Kirkus Reviews
