Brynn swims. That's all she can focus on. With each
stroke,
she pushes herself further and further away from her
friends, her family, and her grief. She sees a future for
herself when she swims, and she can't let anyone stop her
from reaching it. However, when a new guy shows up who
seems
to want her and her best friend, Brynn soon discovers that
winning isn't always the answer.
Terra Elan McVoy dives straight into dark and twisty
waters
with IN DEEP. At first, Brynn seems like a competitive and
fierce swimmer determined to reach her goals. While that
is
certainly true, the reader soon discovers there is more to
the story. With each page, the suspense grows and grows,
forging a breathless pace to the end. Brynn is a complex,
moving, and strong protagonist whose story will capture
you
from the first page.
Sometimes novels with a single character-driven story will
not be as good on the plot side. The character development
will be phenomenal, but the chapter to chapter action
might
be lacking. IN DEEP brilliantly manages to weave a
thoroughly three-dimensional character with plot twists
that
keep you turning the page as fast as possible. The
secondary
characters are right on par as well, with Kate, Grier, and
Charlie all being multi-faceted and intriguing. The focus
on
friendships, romance, and allowing yourself to get close
to
someone makes this a surprisingly emotional read laced
with
gritty honesty.
The power of IN DEEP is immense, and Terra Elan McVoy will
blow readers away with the exceptional writing. Suited
especially for readers of The Perks of Being a Wallflower
and The Break-Up Artist, IN DEEP is an unforgettable novel
to pick up as soon as possible.
Ultracompetitive Brynn from The Summer of Firsts and Lasts
craves swimming victory—and gets in over her head—in this
irresistible novel from Terra Elan McVoy.
Swim.
Push.
Breathe.
Swim.
Nothing else matters to Brynn as she trains her body and
mind to win. Not her mediocre grades and lack of real
friends at school. Not the gnawing grief over her fallen
hero father. Not the strained relationship with her absent
mother and clueless stepdad. In the turquoise water,
swimming is an escape and her ticket to somewhere—anywhere
—else. And nothing will get in her way of claiming
victory.
But when the competitive streak follows Brynn out of the
pool in a wickedly seductive cat-and-mouse game between
herself, her wild best friend, and a hot new college
swimmer, Brynn’s single-mindedness gets her in over her
head, with much more than a trophy to lose.
