I'll start off by admitting that I am not the main demographic for this book and you can absolutely disagree with anything I say. Thank you to Netgalley and publishers for sending me a free ebook in exchange for an honest review!!
The immeasurable depth of you is a YA queer, coming of age story about Brynn, a teenage girl grappling with her mental health after her mother sends her away to live with her father for the summer. My main issue comes with the way the romance is portrayed and represented. The love interest, Skylar, is a girl who died mysteriously who takes an interest in Brynn after seeing her swimming. This is not and should not be considered a romance book. I completely see and understand that this is centering around teenagers and how relatable they were trying to make Brynn, however Brynn literally kisses Skylar without consent. This ultimately wasn't the novel for me at all, i didn't enjoy the pacing, the characters, the romance, none of it clicked for me.
