“Fresh. Riveting. Get ready for a long night because this is a book you won’t put down!”
ABOUT THE BOOK:
20 years ago, a young woman was found dead. Today, in the same town, another is brutally attacked. This time, the truth will be heard.
MY REVIEW:
All it took was for me to read that quick little blurb and know I wanted to read this book. But it wasn’t until I turned to that first page that I knew this was a book I wouldn’t be able to put down.
The book read itself, the pages turned, the story continued, the ending came and I wasn’t ready.
If you are looking for a fresh read, a voice that is unlike others you’ve read, if you are looking for a story that is current and timeless and will leave an indent – you need to prepare yourself for THE NIGHT SWIM by MEGAN GOLDIN.
I was immediately mesmerized by the style of writing – to the point that I found myself wondering why I’ve never considered writing like this and why I haven’t read anything like this before now.
There are so many current ties to life today in this story – from the Podcast theme that runs through the book to the #metoo, to sexual abuse that happens way too often, to victims to continue to be victimized by our society when they attempt to stand up for themselves.
If rape is a trigger for you – this is your warning. It was hard for me to read at times, because I’ve been there and I understood the feelings involved.
