Deep End

Bookseller recommendation

“This is Ali Hazelwood's best book yet, and the urge to write a review as unhinged as it made me feel is STRONG. Deep End hit all the right notes, and the narration of the audiobook was possibly the best I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. Every single thing about this was perfect. Perfectly crafted, perfectly produced, and perfectly horny (am I allowed to say that outside of my bookstagram? It's true!) Perfect for anyone looking to get Whet (IYKYK).”

“This book was absolutely electrifying! Ali KNOWS how to write yearning and passion and this book was no exception. The characters feel so real and vulnerable you won’t be able to resist falling for them. With so much humor, spice and the high stakes of college aquatic sports this book will become your new favorite.”

“I devoured this book in a single day and haven’t stopped thinking about it two weeks later. Deep End explores conversations around kink and power thoughtfully without hyper-sexualizing or fetishizing its protagonists. I deeply (get it?) appreciated this book’s care and thoughtfulness in navigating what often is dismissed as taboo. ”

“Ali Hazelwood saw the words academia and sports romance and said, “Why not both?” And honestly? She nailed it. This book dives (pun intended) into the world of competitive swimming, complete with all the delicious tension, grumpy/sunshine energy, and slow-burn romance you’d expect from Hazelwood. The heroine? Brilliant but awkward. The love interest? Broody, disciplined, and definitely the kind of guy who pretends he doesn’t care—but absolutely does. The chemistry? Off the charts. The banter? Chef’s kiss. And the emotional depth? Way deeper than the pool they’re swimming in. TL;DR: If you love STEM heroines, forced proximity, and the kind of slow-burn that makes you want to scream into a pillow, this one’s a must-read.”
