4/5 stars
Fig Fitzherbert is a worrier. Her life is ruled by anxiety not helped by her controlling overbearing mother, known as Mubla. Mubla is constantly setting her goals and resolutions to complete and has a lot of rules.
Mubla's latest resolution is acting classes culminating in a stage role but the thought of speaking in public makes Fig throw up. She decides to set her own resolution! To swim the world! 20 open-water swims across 6 continents. There's just one snag - she can't swim yet!
I really enjoyed this and I really admired Fig's gumption and refusal to give up on her goal. I do think especially at the beginning Fig was a little blind to her privilege but she did realise and I appreciated how she got along mostly on her own.
I do wish there had been more of a confrontation with Mubla and the ending was very abrupt.
