~*The Night Swim by Megan Goldin*~
5 out of 5 stars
Thank you to Netgalley and Macmillan Audio for allowing me to listen to an advanced copy of The Night Swim in exchange for an honest review.
Am I the only one who loves listening to audio books as a way to relax? For me there is nothing more calming then listening to a good audio book and doing other things like crocheting to feel myself completely relax. What makes that even better? When the book is great and the narrators are super awesome! Bailey Carr; January LaVoy; Samantha Desz are great narrators that really captured the feel of the novel and the mood of the characters.
The actual story was really awesome as well. I read a really good book by Megan Goldin (The Escape Room) last year and was blown away by it. I have to say I enjoyed The Night Swim a bit more which surprised me! I think one of the things I liked so much about this is we followed a true crime podcaster as she decided to dedicate her latest season to a rape trial. I think this book is made for audio because as someone who listens to true crime podcasts the chapters actually sounded like a real podcast! Besides just being a mystery this also was a bit of a courtroom drama as well.
There is a trigger warning because of rape. You need to be prepared for that when going in to this.
Would I recommend this? I most certainly do. Pick this up and spend a quiet night at home getting lost in the story.
