Deep End

By: Ali Hazelwood

This is a fun book that discusses sexual fetishes and physical attraction. It’s not a “kinky” book and doesn’t deserve the hate it garnered on book tok. Scarlet Vandermeer is a diving athlete who suffered an almost career ending injury who is now back to competing. Lukas Blomqvist is a Swedish swimmer who contends and studies at the same university as Scarlet. Their mutual friend Penelope (Pen) introduces them and suggests they should be lovers because of their mutual secret. They compete, attend classes and work on special projects together. Lukas helps Scarlet work through her mental block of her injury and they are both ranked high in competition both athletically and academically. Their mutual attraction and affection for each other grows stronger as they learn to cope with life together and independently. But, will Pen allow them a happily ever after? Will their love of their sports and education keep them apart?

I’m giving this audiobook a 4.5 star review and encourage others to read this latest addition to Ali Hazelwood’s collection. Relax and read this book for enjoyment and entertainment.
The narrators were spot on and the characters were brought to life by them. I’m not sure if I would have enjoyed this book as much as I did in a traditional format. Highly recommend!!
