Swimming in the Dark by Tomasz Jedrowski

5.0

i’ve started this review multiple times and still have no way of putting into words just how much this book destroyed me and changed me and moved me and pulled on my heartstrings and made me feel heavy and weightless and breathless. one of the easiest 5 stars of MY LIFE.

this is one of the most beautifully written books i’ve ever read and one i’ll definitely think about for the rest of my life. HOW am i even supposed to live the rest of my life without knowing anything else about the characters that in less than 200 pages feel like friends? about ludwik? about granny? about the landlady?

tomasz jedrowski, you’re a superstar
