The Night Swim by Megan Goldin

4.0

This book centers around two different timelines: current day and the summer of 1992. While I tend to find myself preferring one timeline over another in most books, I have to say that I didn't really in this story--mostly because both stories were really tough to read about. Rachel comes to town to report on her podcast about a rape case and finds letters addressed to her by Hannah, a young woman whose sister died in 1992 under mysterious circumstances. For the most part, this book is a steady pace through the trial of a young swimmer who raped a sixteen-year-old girl (very Br*ck T*rner like). I was intrigued by the chapters in the courtroom and appreciated how the author handled it. The 1992 murder is also wrapped up in a full-circle way that I'm still trying to determine satisfying or not. It was a solid story, and I would read from the author again
