Nick and Fiona were never supposed to be more than best friends. They tell themselves that every day. They’ve survived grief together, losing both of their mothers senior year, and they cling to their friendship like a lifeline. Sparks would only ruin it. Or so they say.
But when Fiona lets her guard slip, the fragile balance between them shifts. Nick isn’t ready to give up on the one person who makes him feel whole, not even when his own belief in happy endings has long since died.
On a weekend trip meant to bring closure, truths come to the surface that neither can ignore. Jennifer E. Archer’s Into the Deep Blue is an aching, hopeful story about grief, friendship, and daring to love again.
