Coming Up for Air By: Miranda Kenneally

(N) Maggie's whole life revolves around swimming. She spends most of her time and effort spent on swimming. Maggie's not only striving to earn college scholarships but she's also training to qualify for the Olympics. It helps that her best friend Levi is also on the team and cheers her on. But Levi's already earned an Olympic tryout, so Maggie feels even more pressure to succeed. And it's not until Maggie's away on a college visit that she realizes how much of the of the "typical" high school experience she's missed out on by spending all her time on the pool.
      Not one to shy away from a challenge, Maggie decides to squeeze the most out of her senior year. First things first, make out with a guy. Maggie's decided that the perfect person to make out with, the one who can teach her how to make out is, her best friend Levi. After all they already spend a lot of time together. But as Maggie slowly starts to uncover her feelings for Levi, she realizes that there could be more to life than being in the pool.
   
     I've read a few books from Miranda Kenneally before but Coming Up For Air is the first one that I've done a review on. Coming Up For Air is more of a young adult book but with that being said I actually still enjoyed reading it. Coming Up For Air did take a bit of time before things started to get interesting but once it did I could not seem to put it down.
