I am STILL at 56%. The book put me in a slump and I needed to seek out a palate cleanser to keep going. Burned through another book in one day and realized the problem wasn't me... it's Deep End. It's just not fun? Meh... I'll finish it eventually, but I'm not really enjoying the newer Hazelwood books. Such a shame.

Sigh… Ali Hazelwood, still at it. Every single book of hers has the same problem: interesting plots, likable MMCs, but a MFC that makes me roll my eyes constantly. They are Mary Sue personified. Good at EVERYTHING except one thing that will be resolved by the end of the book. “Plain” but irresistible to the MMC. WILDLY intelligent, but has the emotional maturity of a gnat. Spice is nice though.

This is giving serious Secretary (2002) vibes—not in the story, but in the characters and how I expect them to grow. I’m really not a fan of the whole Penelope storyline, but so far I’d put this at a 3.5-4 stars.
