Still a huge fan of Ali Hazelwood !! However, I feel like in every book the FMC always seems to become kind of whiny and it cringes me a lot. 
Loved the book though !!

Deep End

 I Picked Up This Book Because: I’ve liked previous work from the author

 Media Type: Audiobook
 Source: R Public Library
 Dates Read: 8/12/25 - 8/17/25
 Rating: 3.5 Stars
 Narrator(s): Therese Plummer and Ben Holtzmuller


 The Characters:

Scarlett “Vandy” Vandermeer:
Lukas Blomqvist:
”Pen”, Other Dive and Swim team members

 The Story:

LISTEN! This book was WORK for me until Scarlett and Lukas finally got together. I debated quitting several times. While I didn’t feel much chemistry between the characters I will also admit I did not enjoy the male narrator. His accent pulled me out of the story constantly. However, once Lukas and Vandy exchanged lists I was more dialed in. I’m glad I stuck it out. I’m so happy for Vandy and her accomplishments. It was good to see Olive and Adam thriving.
