Into the Deep Blue

By: Jennifer E. Archer

Narrated by: Arielle DeLisle, Mark Sanderlin

Perfect for fans of Nicola Yoon’s The Sun is Also a Star and John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, Into the Deep Blue is Fiona and Nick’s achingly moving, wry, and hopeful tale about falling apart and coming together, told from two unforgettable points of view.

Nick and Fiona were meant to be friends—best friends—and they wouldn’t change that for the world. At least, that’s what they tell themselves. Because they can’t be an us. Nick doesn’t believe in happy endings ever since they both lost their moms unexpectedly senior year. And Fiona often wonders if all they have in common is their numb hearts. Still, they’re content to share everything else with each other. Honestly. Everything but sparks. But when Fiona accidentally lets her guard down more than she intended to with Nick, it threatens to ruin their fragile balancing act. Luckily, Nick isn’t about to let a little misunderstanding get in the way of the weekend trip they’ve been planning for months. Fiona is just hoping for some closure on the first anniversary of her mom’s death—except grief isn’t that simple, and choosing to love again isn’t, either. Now the only thing standing between Fiona and Nick is the truth. They just need the courage to reach for it.

Heartfelt and Twisted

I loved every second of this book. I am a huge Colleen Hoover fan. I will now be a fan of this author! It's got a similar vibe but completely different in layouts and story plots. I loved it!

Good read

Like the back and forth between the main characters. The author did a good job building up the characters

All the feels

I saw that an actress I like was going to play the lead female role in the movie adaptation of this book- so I downloaded it and instantly started listening to it- I didn’t even check to see what the book was about. I’m so thrilled and happy to say that it honestly was an amazing book to listen to. It gave me all of the feels.
I was frustrated and I was crying, and I was feeling empathy and sorrow and anger and worry and happiness and new love and friendship— all the feels. I’m not gonna tell you the plot or the beginning or the end I’m just gonna tell you that it’s amazing book and that the performers who read it for Audible doing an amazing job. I very rarely leave reviews that are more than just the stars. It takes a lot for me to actually write out a whole entire paragraph of a review.

Authentic representation

This books does such a good job at representing grief and love and the emotions that go along with them.
