When I first read the summary for Streamline I knew it was going to be an emotional read. Jennifer Lane tackles various types of abuse in this story, such as child and drug abuse, and she presents them in a realistic and raw way.

Leo Scott and his girlfriend Audrey Rose are high school seniors and both come from military families. Leo and Audrey both love competitive swimming and are on the swim team. They may seem like ordinary, eager high school seniors on the outside, but inside they’re individually battling some tough issues. Audrey is adjusting to her father’s incarceration and loss of family dynamics. Leo has so much pressure to be perfect or he has to endure his father’s abuse.

What I loved about this story is that Ms. Lane does not sugar coat. At times things aren’t pretty, and this is where Ms. Lane excels in making things seem real. Leo and Audrey aren’t perfect and make questionable choices that lead down dark paths. The murder mystery portion is tied well to the plot that keeps moving despite certain parts being so intense that I had to put the story down for a minute to absorb all that happened.

Streamline is also part sports romance, and I like that Ms. Lane puts the characters through the motions of the sport. There is plenty of pool time and all the feels of competition are present. I can tell that the swimming is it’s own special entity in the story. It’s Leo and Audrey’s happy place and provides the lighter moments to contrast the tougher, hard-edged side as the story moves along.

In the end I don’t know what took me so long to read Streamline. This story was published in Spring 2012, and it has been sitting in my e-reader since then. I recently read Jennifer Lane’s novella Swim Recruit. While that story is unrelated to Streamline, it also involves swimming, so I guess I wasn’t ready to leave the swim world just yet. I am glad I took the time to read Streamline and get to know Leo Scott. Life has not been easy for him. When I reached the end of this story, I felt like I wanted to give him a hug.

If you’re in the mood for a new adult sport romance that tackles dark issues and involves a murder mystery, give Streamline a chance. It’s definitely heart-tugging, hopeful, and inspiring! *I purchased this book, and this is my honest review.

Streamline Jennifer Lane Books Reviews

Streamline was a page turner-I couldn't put it down. Reading Streamline is not my typical read but I'm so happy it picked it. There was romance combined with a good murder mystery. Not only did I get wrapped up in the story of 2young adults trying to find their way through the mine field of young love but I was completely engrossed in the "who done it" part of the story. If you're looking for a good summer read then Streamline should definitely be on your list. Debbie
I enjoyed this book. It was lengthy and covered a lot of heavy topics, but did so in a way that kept my attention. I did predict the ending way before it happened. I still enjoyed reading it because I wasn't sure what would happen leading up to the ending.
I'm not even sure where to begin with this one. Streamline is such a heart tugging, sweet story with a bit of mystery.

Leo is a great kid but he carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. He's constantly worried about his family and his girlfriend. There's this great need in him to fix things for everyone. It's hard to see him go through some of the stuff he does. Especially with his father.

Audrey is a sweet and supportive girlfriend. She definitely has way more stress in her life than a teenager should. Between worrying about Leo and her own family, plus her swimming career, phew it's a lot.

Even though the story is about Leo and Audrey both, I feel like he is really the 'star' and that's ok with me. I don't normally connect with a teenage boy when I'm reading but I did with Leo.

Streamline is not an easy read. When I say that the reason is because there is physical, mental, and drug abuse, teen pregnancy, suicide. It's a lot to take in and I had to read it in starts and stops until I made it to the middle of the book. At that point things started moving so fast I didn't want to stop. I had to know what would happen next.

If I had to say there was one thing I didn't like about Streamline it would that at the end of the book I'd have liked a look at everyone in the future. But really, that is such a small thing in the grand scheme of things. Streamline hit all of my 'feels' and I loved every word of it.
