As the narrative unfolds, Scarlett’s struggles with mental health issues like “the twisties,” which affect her diving performance, are poignantly portrayed. Her journey toward self-acceptance is as compelling as the romance itself. Meanwhile, Lukas offers support without trying to fix her problems—a trait that adds depth to their relationship. The book’s exploration of intimacy and emotional connection makes every encounter between Scarlett and Lukas charged with unspoken emotion. With its steamy yet emotionally intense storytelling, “Deep End” marks a significant shift in Hazelwood’s writing style towards more complex characters and darker themes.

“A captivating novel that blends romance and self-discovery set against the backdrop of competitive sports, showcasing Hazelwood’s skill in addressing complex themes with authenticity.”

The Book Guide® Editor

The chemistry between Scarlett and Lukas sizzles throughout the book. Their relationship begins as a mutually satisfying fling but gradually becomes more profound as they navigate personal challenges together. The pressure leading up to major competitions adds tension to their secret relationship. Despite some readers finding the conclusion less satisfying than expected, “Deep End” remains an addictive read due to its fast-paced narrative and engaging characters.

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo (2017)

This book is also fiercely and unapologetically socio-political and we love that. Evelyn’s story is one of being a woman in a man’s world. It is one of being a Cuban woman in a white woman’s world. It is one of being a bisexual woman in an era where attraction to women was demonized by the whole culture. It is one of hiding yourself for ambition, one of trying to decide which one takes precedent, one of aging, and one of never knowing whether your choices were right.
