Ending the book with I want borscht and pierogi and warm poppy-seed cake is honestly iconic. I enjoyed the crap out of this book. This is my first polish book and I was amazed about the culture and storyline this novel showcased. It’s a beautiful and heart-wrenching story, following Ludwik, a student that lives in the post-war weirdness in Poland. Everything changes and yet so much is the same. The fact that this is a debut, is mindblowing. The writing is crazy good and fuck the acknowledgment already moved me in a way I can’t explain. Perfect title, perfect cover. I loved this. We swam, fearless and free and invisible in the brilliant dark. ⭐️ 4.5

really enjoyed this book, mostly for its beautiful writing style. the story itself is very lovely, too, slow-paced and tender. and it's the perfect sad summer romance! i've also never read a book set in poland in the 1980s and found it interesting to learn more about that political climate. the balance between it being a lighter & complex read also appealed to me, and i recommend it if you're looking for a literary queer coming of age story.
