Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Girl Who Stopped Swimming\u201d by Joshilyn Jackson is a novel that dances on the edges of our expectations. Moreover, it dives deeply into the psyche of its central character, Laurel Gray Hawthorne. Known for her masterful storytelling, Jackson presents another intricate narrative. As a matter of fact, I think it is as impactful as “The Lion” by Nelson DeMille in its thematic explorations, if not in genre.<\/p>\n\n\n
