Book: Deep End

Author: Ali Hazelwood

Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley for an eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Deep End is a very unique storyline. The story follows a college romance between Scarlett and Lukas. Scarlett is a great swimmer while Lukas is a world championship diver winning awards and breaking records. I enjoyed the swimming and diving portion. It is two activities I don’t know much about, and it was really interesting seeing it all lead up to the Olympics.

Lukas and Scarlett started right off by dating mainly for sex. This is where they start to learn more about each other, and how they are both into BDSM. I did have a hard time with the lack of communication between one another and the changes between scenes.

I think anyone who loves a good sports romance with some forbidden love trope will enjoy this book.

Final Score: 3.5/5
