Dive Smack by Demetra Brodsky

3.5

 

This book does start a little slow, and gradually gets better by the 50% mark and has you hooked on trying to figure out what exactly is going on. The end itself is very much a thriller when you find out all that has been going on this entire time, with very few people knowing. Our main character Theo is a diver and has lost both of his parents in the past few years and is now living with another family member. With this, he is understandably upset but uses his diving as an escape until he can't anymore.

Overall, it's an interesting book and I'm glad I decided to pick it up.
