A review by thecatladybooknook_penny
The Night Swim by Megan Goldin
5.0
This book is UNputdownable; it's hard-hitting; it's told in a manner that will reach into your soul, especially if you've been a victim or have know someone who has been a victim of sexual assault/rape. I'm not a huge fan of trigger warnings, but in this case, Yep....highly needed.
This book is a MUST for true crime podcast lovers. I loved the formatting of this story; some told in Rachel's perspective as a narrator of the current time and additional mystery told within the story, some told in Hannah's perspective as the sister/narrator of the heinous things that happened to her sister in the past, and some told in podcast format (as if you were listening to it but the text form).
This book also made me angry at our justice system and how a lot of times the verdict comes down to who can present the best case vs who is actually guilty and who has to live with the awful things that were done to them.
Thank you to St. Martin's Press and Netgalley for this free ebook in exchange for an honest review.
