Challenger Deep by Neal Shusterman
5.0

Totally mesmerizing. The story felt very authentic, like it came from a real place, which (as it turns out in the author’s note) it kind of did. The way the two storylines merged felt flawless and I actually like the way you knew from the beginning what was going on but you ever so slowly approached the truth of it, like a voyage in itself. The writing felt similar to the Perks of Being a Wallflower: frank, genuine, disarming, relatable. The premise, protagonist, and reading experience were all very memorable. I would read again and highly recommend.
