About this ebook
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY LIBRARY JOURNAL
In Robin York’s sizzling debut, a college student is attacked online and must restore her name—and stay clear of a guy who’s wrong for her, but feels so right.
When Caroline Piasecki’s ex-boyfriend posts their sex pictures on the Internet, it destroys her reputation as a nice college girl. Suddenly her once-promising future doesn’t look so bright. Caroline tries to make the pictures disappear, hoping time will bury her shame. Then a guy she barely knows rises to her defense and punches her ex to the ground.
West Leavitt is the last person Caroline needs in her life. Everyone knows he’s shady. Still, Caroline is drawn to his confidence and swagger—even after promising her dad she’ll keep her distance. On late, sleepless nights, Caroline starts wandering into the bakery where West works.
They hang out, they talk, they listen. Though Caroline and West tell each other they’re “just friends,” their feelings intensify until it becomes impossible to pretend. The more complicated her relationship with West gets, the harder Caroline has to struggle to discover what she wants for herself—and the easier it becomes to find the courage she needs to fight back against the people who would judge her.
When all seems lost, sometimes the only place to go is deeper.
Praise for Deeper
“York’s beautiful prose and vivid descriptions enhance the realism and impact of Caroline and West’s story. Deeper and Harder are sensual and profoundly moving. The books are told in first-person from both Caroline’s and West’s POVs, and I sat on the emotional roller coaster right beside them as West learns to hold tight to Caroline and embrace life to the fullest. . . . They are books I will cherish.”—Lea Franczak, USA Today

“The perfect New Adult story. West will make you swoon!”—New York Times bestselling author Monica Murphy

**I received this book from Random House-Bantam Dell through NetGalley for an honest review.** 4.5 stars Caroline is a college student who became of a victim of revenge porn when her ex-boyfriend posted several nude pictures of her on the Internet. West is a student at the same school and he is trouble. He’s known around campus for his shady behavior and before Caroline even had a chance to get to know him the previous year she was warned to stay away from him by her father. Deeper is one of those books that is in no way rushed. For me it was a really good, a process. At one point I forgot all about the hell that Nate put Caroline through but when it was brought up again I was instantly on the defensive. I really liked her. Even with everything that happened with her I thought she still found a way to be strong. The thing her and West had was special. I felt for him and the hand that he was dealt. I liked that York let us know what his background was pretty early even though Caroline was left in the dark. I also liked the little interactions between him and his sister. Caroline’s willingness to let things slide made it easier to deal with until it wasn’t. While West was

I absolutely loved it lol. There were points in the story where it was so sad, I was literally heartbroken. This book brought out so many emotions for me.
