A review by tiinak
Deep End by Ali Hazelwood

Did not finish book. Stopped at 23%.
With how many positive tiktoks I saw about this book, my expectations were for epic romance and unproblematic representation of kink. The reviews must have been all paid off marketing though, there's neither in this book. Instead of romance you have lust. Lust that starts when one of the characters is in a relationship. Instead of personality the characters have abs, accents and olympic level sports, all while having mastered complicated computer science algorithms and phd level microbiology at high school. Writing how to cure cancer on each others palms. Super relatable. About this kink. While the characters don't know anything about each other (and one's relationship status is questionable), they repeatedly mention to each other liking BDSM. Without having talked more than 5 minutes, the male character sends an email that the woman should consider him for fuckbuddy. Cheating and sexually harassing colleagues just isn't my thing, 1*. And eww. Epic level ick.
