A review by santreads
The Swimmers by Julie Otsuka

funny reflective sad fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Loveable characters? No

5.0

riddle me this, WHY am I sobbing after finishing this book? The end wasn't even dramatic or this *big* moment, but I'm just SOBBING.

this is a book that does a lot and it's tough to describe but it does all that it does very very well. i will say that it won't be for everyone, but those who love it will truly truly love it.
