Diving In by Kate Cann

Coll loves to swim, diving into the clear blur water makes her feel free. Much freer than it's possible to be at home, with her larger-than-life mother and her mother's needy friends cluttering up the kitchen table. There's also the boy Coll keeps seeing at the pool, he's gorgeous and swims like a shark. She knows she doesn't stand a chance but there's no harm in fantasizing about him, what it would be like to be with him. Then, one chlorine-filled Thursday night, it happens. He asks her out and so begins a passionate love-affair which finds Coll well and truly in at the deep end.
