About the Book
"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. ... On the surface, Lukas and Scarlett have nothing in common--until a well-guarded secret slips out, and everything changes"--Book Synopsis

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.

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.

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...Review Quotes
Praise for Ali Hazelwood "The reigning queen of STEM romance."--The Washington Post
"Ali Hazelwood deserves a gold medal for writing the hottest book of the year."--New York Times bestselling author Lauren Asher "Ali Hazelwood is a romance powerhouse."--#1 New York Times bestselling author Hannah Grace "There are lots of books out there trying to be Ali Hazelwood novels, but there's only one Ali Hazelwood--and that's because she doesn't just write smart romances, she employs sorcery so that the reader falls in love with the characters as they fall in love with each other. Deep End--set in the world of competitive swimming and diving--is a stroke of genius: perfect tens, across the board."--#1 New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult "Gloriously nerdy and sexy, with on-point commentary about women in STEM."--New York Times bestselling author Helen Hoang on Love on the Brain

Book not as pictured! No sprayed edges
I ordered the paperback that is shown to have sprayed edges. The copy I received did not. I returned it, and they sent me a new copy — still not sprayed edges. I wish I had read the comments. This is not the first time Target has done this. At least they refunded me. But super annoying.

Incorrect Item
Buyers beware. When ordering this book online the description clearly states that it is the special edition with cover effects, interior art, and stenciled sides. I did not receive the special edition that I paid for in my package. When I called to ask about getting the correct book, I was told I'd need to go to the store myself, find the correct edition, and do an exchange.

Not what I ordered
I love the book, but I ordered the sprayed edges and I did NOT receive what I ordered. I should've brought it back and got the right one, but lesson learned I guess. I shouldn't have expected the personal shoppers to follow what I ordered.

Ali Hazelwood
The last couple Ali Hazelwood books I read just completely let me down, so when I started reading this I honestly wasn’t sure if I wanted to continue. I did however because I wanted to see if maybe I was being too quick a judge on the premise. The story itself, I’m not into the whole ‘power exchange’ in any capacity in a relationship, which is why you will NEVER catch me reading FSOG, but thankfully towards the end that seems to drastically change into of a more “vanilla” type of relationship. Absolutely love the book cover, even thought it’s a “paper back” the cover is still like that of a hard cover.

Not as described
I did not get what I ordered. It’s the right novel but what I got does not match the description or picture. That had two shots to fix the order and I got the same thing each time

False Product Description
This is not a review on the writing/plot. The book I received did not have the stenciled edges and was missing five chapters (from pages 270-310).

Sprayed edges?
The description and picture is for the sprayed edges. The book arrived in good condition, but this is not what was promised to me.

Not what's pictured
I ordered this book based on the sprayed edges and being special edition. I did not receive what was pictured. The book was basic. No special options. Very disappointing as I was looking forward to seeing the fun book. I can't speak to the writing though since I haven't read it yet.

Not the sprayed edges special edition
Can’t speak to the quality of the writing as I have not read it yet, but the description says, (and the photo shows) it as the sprayed edges version. It is not. And that is maybe being incredibly nit picky, but it is not the item I expected or paid for and feels like a bait and switch.

Beautiful book
Sooo let me start off with I bought this mainly because of sprayed edges and the author. I also read this as a sort of buffer/recovery book after Onyx Storm. Reading the book I knew nothing about it aside from the title and that I’ve had a love/hate with Ali’s books. I dnfed check and mate - super cringe. But did like a good amount of things in love hypothesis, love theoretically, and bride. I will say it was an improvement in descriptions from when she called people big as a tree. I’m big on college sports romances so in that vein I really liked this book. As per usual her mmc is fairly unrealistic but oh so desirable 👀 I will say since it’s in the disclaimer I expected much more hardcore kinky stuff, but it didn’t bother me or feel very kinky. It was a spicy book but her others were as well, I’d compare it to icebreaker in that respect. Writing style wise pretty similar to her usual, but it was hard to follow toward the end especially with the dialogue was a little under tagged and clunky. Overall good read although I wasn’t a big fan of the final plot twist the main ship was cute enough together I would read again.
