Deep End

This book is the damn near epitome of “New Adult Contemporary.

I genuinely loved this book. I read it in one day, probably could have been quicker except I highlighted A LOT.

Overall, this was written beautifully. Specifically, how she approached fulfilling your partners sexual desires, acquiring and reassuring consent, meaningful discussions about specific boundaries, and how to have an overall healthy relationship with those elements. As a former D1 athlete, I think she captured the lifestyle surprisingly well. Their banter was so cute.

I was a bit skeptical about reading another one of her books. I read The Love Hypothesis, absolutely loved it but that was nearly 4 years ago. Back then, I read YA and used to like it, but it’s generally not my forte anymore. But this book exceeded expectation.

Honestly the only thing I really didn’t like about it, was switching it to third person POV in the epilogue. I liked it was Lukas, but I wish it had been first person POV.
