About this listen

A competitive diver and an ace swimmer jump into forbidden waters in this steamy college romance from the Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis.

Scarlett Vandermeer is swimming upstream. A junior at Stanford and a student athlete who specializes in platform diving, Scarlett prefers to keep her head down, concentrating on getting into med school and on recovering from the injury that almost ended her career. She has no time for relationships - at least, that's what she tells herself.

Swim captain, world champion, all-around aquatics golden boy Lukas Blomqvist thrives on discipline. It's how he wins gold medals and breaks records: complete focus with every stroke. On the surface, Lukas and Scarlett have nothing in common. Until a well-guarded secret slips out, and everything changes.

So they start an arrangement. And as the pressure leading to the Olympics heats up, so does their relationship. It was supposed to be just a temporary, mutually satisfying fling. But when staying away from Lukas becomes impossible, Scarlett realizes that her heart might be treading into dangerous water...

*Ali Hazelwood's Deep End was a Sunday Times bestseller w/e 23 February 2025

So, I struggled to out this one down which is always a good sign.
I had one main problem though and thats, I don't understand why or how everyone went along with pretending Lucas and Pen were still together, at all let alone for like 8 MONTHS! I couldn't understand why it was necessary, why they went along with it, and how on earth they kept that a secret. It was the biggest red flag and obviously going to backfire at some point.
Other than that I really enjoyed. Would recommend.

I love each of her books more than the last! I put off getting this one because I’m not at all into sport-related-anything, but somehow that did NOT matter, in an Ali Hazelwood book. I’d say she keeps giving us bangers, if that pun weren’t so on-the-nose!

The character development is so natural that the setting faded into the background, for me. Even the side characters felt very vivid and real.

I feel like the spice level keeps creeping up, book after book, and I LOVE that. The kink feels organic and true to life, and I really hope she keeps writing kinky characters!

The dual voice acting performances are great. It was lovely to hear the same main narrator as in “Bride”, and the male narrator’s Swedish accent was subtly sexy (although I have no idea how good/accurate it may or may not be!). Both were emotive without being over-the top, which can sometimes be a tricky balance.

If this is your first Ali Hazelwood book, you’re in for a treat, and if you’ve liked her work before, you’ll probably love this one too! Highly recommend (even if you, like me, HATE swimming pools lol).

Ali Hazelwood, you did it again!

Love Alis books, this did not disappoint. As a person who speaks Swedish, the narrator definitely does not.

Good
