Kate Snow is at the end of her rope when she decides to swim out to sea and never come back. Her swim is interrupted by famous pop star, Charlie Storm when she literally bumps into him in the ocean. What results from the unlikely meeting is the chance to put old demons to rest and a real chance to find happiness.

Strangers by Barbara Elsborg was an extremely emotional story for me because of the subject content. Surviving suicide is a topic that is very dear to my heart. I identified with Kate in so many ways and I entirely blame Ms. Elsborg for making me cry. I loved the chemistry between Charlie and Kate, the playful nature of their relationship made me laugh along with the story. There was a section that was particularly hard for me to read, and some would even debate on the consent of the act but I understood the necessity to include it and how it revealed the truth behind Kate’s past. Ms. Elsborg built a story with complicated characters that had sexual chemistry, humor, quirks and somehow complimented each other perfectly. I thoroughly enjoyed the layers that made the plot interesting and the twists that kept it flowing. Strangers will remain a book that I read over and over.
