The Swimmers by Julie Otsuka

emotional reflective fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.75

The Swimmers is two entirely different books stiched together which, unfortunately, didn't work at all for me. The beginning is playful, funny, and reminiscent of Nightvale in its descriptions. The second half is a slow burning ache in your heart.
