  • book reccs about water sports (not those ones…)

    Hi guys ☺️ sorry if this is a repeat post, I have searched with no success.

    I am looking for fiction book reccs about athletes in water sports- so diving, swimming, rowing etc

    I usually read romance and litfic ( both slow character studies and weird descent into madness vibes) and want quite a good portion to be “game play” if that’s what we can call it. It can be a romance or a story about obsession with some weirdness.

    (I have read deep end and enjoyed it! Chlorine is on my tbr. Also love the movie the novice too for reference)

    thanks in advance ☺️📚💦

    does it speed up or get more intense? i feel like right now it's dragging, esp considering it's a mystery/psych thriller and i already feel like ik what happened to amy. but idk i want to like this and want to finish it

    Story was compelling and interesting, but it did finish rather quickly and neatly and felt rushed rather than resolved.

    “No platitudes, Dr. Cerrasin? No ‘God doesn’t give you more than you can bear’ speech?” “Sometimes God breaks your fucking back.”

    Refreshing in fiction and in real life when people sometimes don’t try to make you feel better about everything, but just acknowledge that shit is hard.

    It's hard to believe that 2006 was 20 years ago, but here we are . . . Story is starting off strong, but it is jarring to hear a child psychologist use the term "an autistic" rather than "an autistic child." There are also references to Asperger's and other terms that have since become disused, so I wanted to call this out in case this is something that would bother someone. It's so far still very respectful, as they're trying to determine how best to help a child, but is a bit strange to hear such different language surrounding autism even in the early 2000s, which seems not that long ago.

    Also fatphobic language and heavy diet culture from one of the characters (which, sadly, was pretty normal talk and still is by some)
