This month, we’re chatting about Deep End by Ali Hazelwood ($20.00 Book club price: $18.00 Paperback, 464 pp)

Dive into the turbulent waters of forbidden romance. Scarlett Vandermeer is a platform diver at Stanford, determined to recover from an injury that almost ended her career and focused on her ultimate goal: med school. With no room for distractions, Scarlett keeps relationships at bay, convincing herself she doesn’t need anything more.

Enter Lukas Blomqvist, the swim team’s golden boy and world champion, whose life revolves around discipline and focus. To outsiders, the two couldn’t be more different, but a shared secret brings them together in an unexpected way. What begins as a temporary, no-strings-attached arrangement quickly spirals into something neither of them anticipated.

As Olympic dreams loom and pressures mount, Scarlett and Lukas find themselves in uncharted territory. Their connection deepens, but their competitive worlds and personal insecurities threaten to pull them apart. Scarlett must confront not only her growing feelings for Lukas but also the fears holding her back from fully diving in.

Filled with emotional depth, sizzling chemistry, and the perfect blend of tension and tenderness, Deep End captures the beauty of taking risks in love and life. Fans of sports romance and forbidden relationships will find themselves immersed in Scarlett and Lukas’s journey.
