A review by book_lizard42
Night Swim by Jessica Keener

2.0

I won this book on Goodreads, and I'm about 100 pages in. At this point, I do not feel like the writer has found her own voice. There are some elegant or unique phrases that are scattered haphazardly in places where they don't belong. We have all heard "show, don't tell." The author shows a superficial piece, and then follows up with a paragraph which tells. It's the difference between going to Africa myself and seeing a show on Animal Planet. I just don't feel like I have been taken there yet.

I am hoping that by the end, the author has found her own voice rather than trying to channel other authors.
