Synopsis

Coll thinks the boy she sees swimming every Thursday night is completely gorgeous - long and lean, powerful and strong. He becomes the fantasy that takes her out of her ordinary day-to-day existence. And then he asks her out, and the dream becomes reality. Art is strong and powerful, and he's also quite pushy. Just what is Coll getting into?

From AudioFile

Coll is a 16-year-old with an active fantasy life, especially when it comes to the opposite sex . . . and one boy in particular. Her real life includes a domineering, overweight, feminist mother, a weak father, and a poisonous kid sister. But her biggest problem is her confusion and uncertainty about sex. Narrator Amanda Hulme gives a realistic picture of a girl in the throes of a dilemma. When the object of Coll's fantasy actually asks her out, Hulme delivers a head-over-heels heroine buffeted by powerful emotions. Coll is likable and funny, if obsessed, and Hulme's reading is spot-on. First in a trilogy, DIVING IN is directed toward teenaged girls who enjoy British chick-lit.
