A review by bookishcitygal
The Night Swim by Megan Goldin

2.0

Please do not read this book if you are triggered by discussions of rape. This was a hard book to read because of the content of the fictional cases. The story itself was ok and it felt like the “twist” was obvious and a bit unsurprising. It’s clear the author drew her inspiration for the main character from the podcaster who created serial and the main case seemed to be loosely based on the crimes of Brock Turner. I kept waiting for the book to surprise me and change my mind about it but it left me disappointed and heartbroken for the many individuals who experience rape and sexual assault.
