I did not want to put this book down. I needed to find out who was killing animals in this small resort town near New York and who was after Olivia years after she had moved away and then come back to try to work through what had happened to her 5 years before. No one seems the same. Everyone seems to have changed over the years. There are many twists and turns throughout. I received a copy of this book from Wattpad books for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.

Five years after a terrible accident nearly killed Olivia, she returns to her childhood home to visit old friends, and to face her fears.
The Summer I Drowned by Taylor Hale weaves together elements of a mystery, a psychological thriller, and teen romance. I flew through reading this book, trying to figure out the mystery. Olivia really drew me in as well. Thanks to a near-death drowning, she understandably has PTSD, and (literal) hydrophobia, both of which can trigger panic attacks. Thanks to losing an eye, I lost my depth perception and have become legally blind. I have demophobia, or fear of crowds/being crowded and panic attacks can be triggered if I don't pay attention to growing anxiety. For that, I felt the novel was well-researched, as I did with other psychological issues presented.
I definitely grokked Olivia's feelings about how her friends had changed, even her closest friend, Keely. Five years gave her distance and perspective about all of them. It can be an eye-opening experience to realise you don't know friends as well as you think. These kids are all still so young. Haha, aging myself here, but it does make me shake my head at the foolishness of youth. And the drama! I certainly don't miss being that age. Recommended! I plan to keep an eye out for anything else written by this author.
