Though the story wasn't angsty, it was a bit dramatic for my tastes.
I wasn't in the mood for something really heavy, so light and sweet was perfect. Out in the Deep is a really sweet story with relatively low angst, which is nice for a closeted guy plotline (two closeted guys here). I didn't hate Out in the Deep, and I even really loved it at times, even though the dreaded I'm breaking up with you for your own good happened near the end (ugh). I haven't read a Lane Hayes book in some time, mostly because she is so nice in real life that it would crush me to hate her stuff. I was positive I'd love this book and am über disappointed that I didn't.Ī romance with two bisexual athletes? Yes, please! Please note that I'm an outlier! Look at all the glowing reviews. Nothing about this relationship clicked for me. Gabe even makes out with Derek's ex at the beginning, which was just. shtick is getting old.) There was also a lot of ex-girlfriend drama, which I despise. Give me a man who knows his mind.īoth guys were in the closet because reasons.
I got bored with all the drinking and partying. Twenty-three isn't that young, and yet they acted young. The MCs are 23-college boys through and through. This time, though, I longed for a two-person perspective. This narrative style is the author's signature, and I'm usually fine with it, even though I much prefer a dual POV. Since Derek was the sole narrator of the story, I didn't really get Gabe. I found the first-person POV to be limiting. I love Lane Hayes' work and have five-starred many of her books, but Out in the Deep just didn't work for me. I have to be honest, as much as it pains me.
