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 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...

    I think this is a me thing, but this feels like it's starting to drag... While I'm reading it's fine/fun, but it's no problem to set it down and walk away. Not feeling a pull to keep reading and turning pages 🤷‍♀️ Plus Scarlett is fucking *oblivious*, as this is another obviously obsessed main male character, Ali Hazelwood's go-to.

    woah woah woah there's NO CHANCE 21 year old college juniors are having this mature/healthy of a conversation about BDSM (let alone a relationship) unless something has drastically changed in the baseline emotional maturity of college students since I graduated. I'm not mad about it but my flabbers are gasted.
