Praise

“Starmer’s writing is beautifully lyrical, creating an atmospheric tone and weaving a nontraditional coming-of-age story about self, friendship, and first love. The dual narrative structure proves utterly absorbing… An evocative and otherworldly tale.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Starmer’s eerie love story is spooky, sad, and sweetly funny—a highly original ’90s retro mixtape of a book that will have you wishing you could go night swimming with Sarah and Trevor, until chills go down your spine and you realize what a very, very bad idea that would be.”—E. Lockhart, author of We Were Liars and Genuine Fraud

Night Swimming is just the kind of book I like: a beautifully written character dive that plays with the boundaries of reality. Bonus points for the ’90s nostalgia and music references that had me thinking wistfully of my own teen years. An exciting offering in the world of speculative fiction, Starmer’s novel asks all sorts of questions about who we are, who we might become, and who we’re meant to be with. I’m very much here for this book (and I think Michael Stipe would be, too).”—David Arnold, New York Times best-selling author

“Allegorical and shimmering with expectation, Night Swimming is an all-consuming dream of a novel that feels at once vital and timeless. In one singular perfect summer, what’s momentary becomes everlasting, and what’s feared becomes beautiful and necessary. Unforgettable.”—Nova Ren Suma, New York Times best-selling author

“A haunting, romantic, and mesmerizing story of the perilous moments between adolescence and adulthood that will take your breath away. Aaron Starmer’s latest will take readers on what they think is one ride, and then turns out to be another—and it’s a fantastic one, powered by crisp, beautiful prose and a story that will linger long after the book is over. (Bonus: The songs that begin each section are sure to comprise your next favorite playlist.)”—Kathleen Glasgow, New York Times best-selling author of Girl in Pieces
