Deep End

The Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller!

This special first edition will have striking cover effects, beautiful interior cover art, and stenciled edges!

A competitive diver and an ace swimmer jump into forbidden waters in this steamy college romance from the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis.


Scarlett Vandermeer is swimming upstream. A Junior at Stanford and a student-athlete who specializes in platform diving, Scarlett prefers to keep her head down, concentrating on getting into med school and on recovering from the injury that almost ended her career. She has no time for relationships—at least, that’s what she tells herself.

Swim captain, world champion, all-around aquatics golden boy, Lukas Blomqvist thrives on discipline. It’s how he wins gold medals and breaks records: complete focus, with every stroke. On the surface, Lukas and Scarlett have nothing in common. Until a well-guarded secret slips out, and everything changes.

So they start an arrangement. And as the pressure leading to the Olympics heats up, so does their relationship. It was supposed to be just a temporary, mutually satisfying fling. But when staying away from Lukas becomes impossible, Scarlett realizes that her heart might be treading into dangerous water...

8/10 stars
4.5 ⭐️ 3/5 🌶️ The way the characters are presented to each other, or rather, the way Lukas is presented to Scarlett was NOT MY FAVE. It was bound to get messy with that intro and that’s exactly what happened. I really wish she became aware of him in a different way. I don’t like friends sharing intimate partners. It’s always been icky to me—in real life & in fiction. Without that piece of the story, this book would’ve been 5 stars for me. I get that it’s college kids so the messiness works but I really hated that beginning for Lukas & Scarlett. Lukas Blomqvist is… dare I say, perfect?? I will be thinking about him for the rest of time. Top tier book boyfriend, maybe top 5. Sweedy! I’m obsessed! This is such an incoherent review lol. “Pen” can fuck right off. Idc that she remains in their lives. I hate her. All that to say, Ali Hazelwood could write literally anything and I have no doubt that I would devour it.
