Night Swimming by Aaron Starmer

4.0

---

Was lucky enough to win a copy through goodreads. This felt very much in the spirit of “right now” not “forever”. I had a feeling Trevor and Sara wouldn’t end up together, but it felt nice to have a more realistic ending for them. It felt like Trevor put her on a pedestal too much, and their differences became much clearer as the story went on. I wish that more lore was given about the swimming pool and the Purple lady- how did she know about it? Had she gone there? Truly been told by others? While there are some things that could be fleshed out it was a fun quick read that I think would really connect with people about to graduate and having those feelings of where to go next in life.
