The Swimmers by Julie Otsuka

challenging dark emotional funny inspiring mysterious reflective sad medium-paced
i loved this book. my art teacher made some art for the book just for fun and used it as an example in class for thumbnailing/the art process and i thought it would be a good read because after his presentation it just kept appearing around me.

i’m so glad i read it, it’s such a sad and emotional book. i went to the park for a nice read but ended up sobbing page after page and didn’t stop until i was done because of how amazing it is. i highly recommend this book but i also warn you that it is very sad and makes me want to hug my mom more and makes me wish i was better to my dad before he died.
