Night Swims
More a series of interconnected short stories than a novella, this details the pleasant experiences of Samantha and Burnie as they skinny dip at a North Carolina beach both together and separately over two decades. The end was both unexpected and bittersweet. -
Not. Bad to read
I liked the story, and in most cases, the jumping around would work with the story. But in this case, I believe the writer would have been better off sticking to the timeline instead of jumping back and forth in time.
