Deep End by Ali Hazelwood
medium-paced
3.5
Not my favorite Ali Hazelwood but I still enjoyed it. I like her STEM working characters a little more because they nerd out more. I did enjoy hearing more about diving/swimming, but the relationship didn’t quite hit it for me.
Spoilers below:
I really disliked Pen as a character - or at least the way Hazelwood wrote her. She created this constant feeling of unease that led me to think the other shoe would drop and you would realize she actually sucked the whole time. So when she turned out fine - I was confused. What was the point of the other divers who warned the main character about Pen? I just don’t think it was handled super well.
