HOW IT FEELS TO FLOAT

Candice Moll narrates this contemplative Aussie audiobook, which seems to float lazily along, mirroring its dissociative protagonist. Biz continues to spend time with her father, whom she found dead 10 years ago. At first, listeners may believe he's a ghost, but as the story progresses, it becomes increasingly apparent that Biz hallucinates. After an incident with classmates leaves Biz feeling friendless, her father disappears. She decides to travel, along with her new friend, Jasper, to the places her father once lived to try to find him again. In moments of Biz's emotional distress, Moll's voice becomes appropriately loud and urgent. She gives distinct, believable voices to other characters; for example, Biz's father sounds like a surfer dude, while her younger siblings are shrill and excitable.
