I loved this book. I’m a sucker for parallel universe type books, which it’s what I considered this book. I read it in about 3 hours. It follows James and Amelia, both 17, going on a forest date. They find a secret lake and inside the secret lake is an underwater house. 

The only reason I didn’t give this a 5 was because I felt like the ending could’ve been better.
