Description

A competitive diver and an ace swimmer jump into forbidden waters in this steamy college romance from the 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...

    This book is special. It draws you into a different world of NCAA D1 athletics and delves into many relationships...friendships, teammates, mentors and most importantly, the relationship we have with ourselves and our bodies.

    I had heard that this book was going to be a little different than her others, and it is, but it is still, shiningly Ali. Her characters are complex and beautiful.

    Such a lovely story!! I couldn’t put it down.

  • Lacking reality of collegiate team; lost count after 500th orgasm

    I struggled to get past how the characters of a small collegiate team basically don't l know each other. To be a D1 athlete, it becomes your job…and your teammates are the family you didn't choose. You're incredibly close. This depiction is so far from the reality of collegiate athletics that it made it difficult to imagine the romantic plot Hazelwood was setting up. (Don’t get me started on the 10 orgams the main character would experience on each encounter…we all love fiction, but I found myself skipping over some of the steamy parts because it was so over the top.)

  • Ugh

    The main female character was so annoying. Her obsession with her “friend’s” happiness over hers was so frustrating.

  • New York City
