Although I must say I wasn’t exactly pleased with the conclusion to ID only because of Charlie. Being honest, Grier was a bitch, Gavin was a slut and Charlie was the epitome of perfection. So, what else to say about In Deep? There’s a seriously twisted romance. Overall, devilishly intriguing, more-than-not emotionally distressing? It’s virtually the film version of In Deep but ID is plenty more relatable and only a tad less graphic. Have any of you ever seen Dare? The 2009 film where this girl and her gay best friend fall for the same boy that ends with a really awkward threesome and a potentially-ruined friendship? The one you watched at 2 AM that one summer night because it has Emmy Rossum and you thought it might be a cute romance film? Yes, ring a bell? I don’t know, it kind of does for me. Also, have I ever met anyone with a bigger potty mouth than me? Yes, her name is Brynn and her dialect is outstanding. Some self-destructions/self-discoveries are a bit more exploited than others, but some of us just outright lose it and the end result is Brynn, the competitive swimmer who took things way too far. One way or another we find ourselves drinking too much Monster/Red Bull and after that everything goes downhill. Grades, sports, clubs, high school: they all drive us crazy.
Those of us who are also cursed with only the most of unreasonable anal-ness *coughs uncomfortably* know what I’m talking about. It was actually pretty beautiful in one of the most horrific ways.īrynn is basically the pitch perfect example of a perfectionist teen who is destined to over-do it and self-destruct. And nothing will get in her way of claiming victory.īut 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. In the turquoise water, swimming is an escape and her ticket to somewhere-anywhere-else. Not the strained relationship with her absent mother and clueless stepdad. Not the gnawing grief over her fallen hero father. Not her mediocre grades and lack of real friends at school.
Nothing else matters to Brynn as she trains her body and mind to win.
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.
