Swimming at Night by Lucy Clarke
3.0
[Rating: 3.5 stars]
This is the story of sisters. This is the story of lies, half-truths, betrayal, rejection, lost love, and discovering one’s self. When 24-year-old Mia sets off for an around the world adventure with her best friend, her older sister Katie is angry. Mia was always running away when Katie needed her. But Mia’s untimely & tragic death while traveling hits Katie like a strike of lightning. There are so many unanswered questions. Too many. Katie finds Mia’s travel journal and makes the bold step of recreating Mia’s journey, across continents and oceans to discover how she could have lost her sister. The answers Katie finds are rarely the ones she wants, but she also discovers something unexpected…herself.
This was a good story. I enjoyed the POV shifts from Mia to Katie with each chapter, giving deeper insight into each character. I felt some of the big secrets were a little obvious from the beginning, but overall, it was a story that held my attention and kept me going until the end.
