I read this book in a whole weekend because it was that good! I couldn't put it down. I have been seeing so many wishy-washy reviews on this book, but I can say I loved this book. Lukas Blomqvist became my book-boyfriend instantly when I saw how he really was with Scarlet. I can easily see Scarlet and Lukas as the true OTP. I related so well with Scarlet and how she is so reserved but hides her true self. The friendship she grew with Pen was beautiful and messy. Since I use to be a swimmer, I understood the lingo, the way it can wreck your body but also be so rewarding. I loved swimming.

 

What the book is about (Goodreads):

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 records: 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...
