A review by sally_thames
The Swimmers by Julie Otsuka

This was disappointing for me. I thought it would be much different and I wasn't a huge fan of the way it went after we left the pool. The pool, to me, felt pointless and I was bummed because it was the part I found the most intriguing. I wish we could have delved into some of the topics that were brought up more. It felt like some things were mentioned and never discussed again and those same things were what made me pick it up in the first place. 

Compelling writing style, interesting setting for a few chapters, but overall, don't think I'll be thinking about this one tomorrow. 

That being said, Surf's Up is checked off my bingo board!
