One of the easiest 5 stars I’ve given all year. I just love these two.
My journey with Ali’s books started off so rocky, because I struggled to connect with her romances rooted so heavily in STEM fields. It was definitely a “it’s me, not you” situation 😩 but after Bride, Not In Love and now Deep End, I can say with my whole chest that I love her writing. I think she’s made such significant strides with her characters individuality and development, and I love every minute of reading her books now. Scarlett & Lukas were so easy to root for, as characters and a couple. Their gradual progression from hooking up to falling in love has me high pitched squealing over & over!!! Lukas’s patience, his dominance, his focus on Scarlett’s needs were swoon worthy. And Scarlett was so incredibly relatable, as someone who also struggles with emotional intimacy over physical intimacy on occasion.
This book gets all the praise from me & I can’t wait to reread it already 💞
