Deep End by Ali Hazelwood
4.5
I picked up Deep End on a whim, since I wasn't really in the mood for anything specific - and wow ... I did not expect to get sucked in like this!! If it wasn't for sleep & work, I could and would've easily devoured this book in one sitting.
How this whole thing between Scarlett and Lukas started felt a bit clumsy & weird at first, but a few chapters in that was all forgotten: the slow burn and the build-up of tension and chemistry was intoxicating. And while certain parts weren't my cup of tea, I couldn't get enough of their heart-pounding scenes together.
What caught me a bit off guard at the beginning was how different Lukas was from what I've come to expect these kind of love interests to be. He was so direct, so no-nonsense, and I really came to appreciate that - especially his dry sense of humor, haha.
I was waiting for some silly drama to arise, and there were a few moments where it could've easily turned that way, but for the most part I was pleasantly surprised. Well, there was one dreaded twist that popped up towards the end and annoyed me a bit. Other than that, I really enjoyed the overall story and have a feeling it will stay with me for a while.
