Into the Deep by Samantha Young

Expected Publication: August 13th 2013

About the book: Live young. Live hard. Love deep.

Charley Redford was just an ordinary girl until Jake Caplin moved to her small town in Indiana and convinced her she was extraordinary. Almost from day one Jake pulled Charley into the deep and promised he was right there with her. But when a tragic incident darkened Jake’s life he waded out into the shallows and left Charley behind.

Almost four years later Charley thinks she’s moved on. That is until she takes a study year abroad in Edinburgh and bumps into none other than Jake Caplin at a party with his new girlfriend. The bad-boy-turned-good attempts to convince Charley to forgive him, and as her best friend starts spending time with Jake’s, Charley calls a truce, only to find herself tumbling back into a friendship with him.

As they grow closer, the spark between them flares and begins playing havoc with their lives and relationships. When jealousy and longing rear their destructive heads, Charley and Jake struggle to come to grips with what they mean to one another.

And even if they work it out, there is no guarantee Charley will ever trust Jake to lead her back into the deep…
 

Brandie's Thoughts:
I've recently become a big fan of Samantha Young's work - and am super excited to get my hands on this one. It sounds like a book that I'm going to love - friendship, jealousy, longing, a tragic incident...I love an angsty book! Sounds like one I won't be able to put down and I can't wait to read it!

Rachel's Thoughts:

Like Brandie, I'm a huge fan of Samantha Young's writing and I was over the moon when this first got announced.  I have to say I'm a little nervous to pick this up because it has drama written all over it. I think Charlely and Jake meeting again while he has a girlfriend is going to tear at me the entire time!!  I'm not too worried though, because Samantha manages to get the mix of angst, heartache, and love just right.  Plus, there's usually a nice amount of steam, too!! Can't wait!
