#divesmack

But when a family history project gets assigned at school, new memories come rushing to the surface, memories that make Theo question what he really knows about his family, the night of the fire, and if he can trust anyone—including himself.

“Every human reaction has to be silenced before doing a single twist. Then it’s go time. The more twists the better.” ✶ I’ve finally finally finally started reading this gorgeous thing. I’m only a few pages into it, but I’m excited to spend some time with it today. Unreliable narrators are my favorite and Gretchen blurbed it and I’m 100000% here for it. ——————— What are you reading today? ——————— {#DiveSmack #DemetraBrodsky #currentlyreading #hellostacee #vscobooks #booktography #bookoftheday #booksandtea #cupinframe #flatlaytoday #flatlayforever #bookaesthetic #whiteinframe #everysquareastory #booksandminimalism #lillytales} https://www.instagram.com/p/BoW_u-UAGVl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=38m9wqtyf2to

#Repost @dreaminginpages with @get_repost ・・・ “That’s how every dive should be done. Without distraction, paying attention to the dive during every twist and turn until there’s nothing but the rush of water and silence. . But the conditions are never perfect. I think that’s what my mom was ultimately trying to say.” — Dive Smack, Demetra Brodsky 🍂 . . I’m becoming such a huge fan of contemporary YA, especially thrillers, mysteries, and dramas. Dive Smack by Demetra Brodsky is one that I was eagerly anticipating not only because it fits with the above, but also because the main character, Theo Mackey, is a diver. I adore both swimming and diving, though I never managed to master either one. But that doesn’t mean I never tried. Now I find it’s much easier to watch and read about diving rather than belly-smacking the water every time. 🍂 . I was fortunate enough to win this beauty in a giveaway and I’m ridiculously excited. It’s always such a joy to win a book, but it’s even better when it’s a book you’re really looking forward to. Thanks so much @diamondxgirl and @demebrodsky ! 🍂 . And be sure to swipe for the second pic. I had such a blast following Demetra’s monarch journey, and finding this little beautiful butterfly in the middle of the book completely made my day. 🦋 🦋 🦋 . . #divesmack #demetrabrodsky #torteen #ya #yalit #ireadya #yareader #yalove #yabooks #youngadultbooks #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #instareads #instabook #igreads #bibliophile #bookworm #booklover #fiestaware #fiestapeacock #booksandcoffee #coffeelover #booksandcandles #book #readersofinstagram #ilovebooks #ilovereading #reading #read #currentlyreading https://www.instagram.com/p/BnrYE-uFRFC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18otw6rtwc6fq

Oh, just me meeting @marieluthewriter before our panel TOGETHER at @comic_con and trying not to fangirl pass out. She’s as warm and lovely as I imagined. Thnx, Marie! ❤️#divesmack #warcross #meddlingkids Look! There’s Edgar Cantero, too. The sweetest! 🔥❤️💧

Every time someone says they loved my book and needed a little time to process the twists and turns, I take a deep breath. Just like Theo before a big dive. It means EVERYTHING to me when readers love my book. It makes me believe that after all this time that maybe, just maybe, I’m doing the right thing. Thank you so much for this @bookworm_jce 🔥❤️💧 … #Repost @bookworm_jce with @get_repost ・・・ I have no words. I need a while to process the twists and turns of Dive Smack by @demebrodsky. This book was incredible. The story was told so well. And the twists kept me flipping page after page to find out what would happen. I would highly recommend this book. 🏊‍♂️🔥 … #bookstagram #books #ya #yabooks #divesmack #torteen ##macmillan #thriller #bookish #divesmack #suspense #bookworm #booklover #mustread #youngadultbooks #book #yougotthis #teammonarch #juniorlibraryguildselection

My critique partner @nikkikatz and I have waited a long time to take a pic in front of this sign. Almost a decade, to be honest. Her debut #themidnightdance came out in 2017 and she had to wait for the release of #divesmack this past June to stand proudly by my side. But that’s what a great CP and friend does, worries for you and waits, and reads and advises, and doesn’t judge. We can each attest to the fact that we nearly lost our minds during our parallel publishing journeys. It was a wild ride. But not sticking to it, not trusting our gut, or allowing road bumps to derail us wasn’t optional. I’m so proud of this moment, and so incredibly lucky to have the best CP a writer could hope for. Not to mention a stellar, stick-by-you through anything friend! This month will both be on panels at Comic-Con International @sdcc_2018 and if that isn’t awesome, I don’t know what is. Hope to see you there! 🔥❤️💧#dreamsdocometrue … #critiquepartners #friendshipgoals #yalit #yaauthors #bookish #writersofinstagram #booknerd #booklovers #youngadultbooks #thriller #retelling #swoonreads #torteen #macmillan #wegotthis #wedidit #livetodiveanotherday #besties #encinitaslove #yasuspense #sandiegoauthor #scbwisandiego #greatreads #proudmoment #loveyourtribe #celebrateyoursuccesses #chaseyourdreams #workhardstayhumble
