Swimming at Night by Lucy Clarke

4.0

Wow, what a beautifully written book! I really enjoyed the side-by-side stories as Katie followed in Mia's footsteps and the slow reveal of everything that happened. My one beef with the story is that all the random little twists and turns were, for the most part, incredibly predictable. At no point did I find myself going, "Wow, I never saw that coming!", which is kind of a bummer. But, that certainly doesn't detract from the fact that this is a poignant, thought-provoking and sometimes frustrating story. All the characters have flaws, all of them make mistakes, but it's hard to stay upset at them because they've also all been hurt by someone they loved and trusted. It's incredibly realistic.
