"A tense psychological drama with a voice that pulls you in and a twist you won't see coming."Gretchen McNeil, author of Ten A 2018 Junior Library Guild Selection Theo Mackey only remembers one thing for certain about the fire that destroyed his home: he lit the match. Sure, it was an accident. But the blaze killed his mom and set his dad on a path to self-destruction. Everything else about that fateful night is full of gaping holes in Theos mind, for good reason. Maybe its better that way. As captain of the Ellis Hollow Diving Team, with straight A's and solid friends, he's only one semester away from securing a scholarship, and leaving his past behind. 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 anyoneincluding himself. "Heartbreaking, human and heroic, Demetra Brodsky's Dive Smack is a Perfect 10!" Karen LaFace, 1992 USA Olympic Springboard Diver At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Catching up on Reviews! Prepare to be overwhelmed!
A decent YA thriller. Theo is working on a family project that is stirring up long buried secrets and the truth he's always known- that he lit the fire that destroyed his family- might not be reality. Very twisty.

⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hmmm okay I liked this more than I thought I would. It ended up morphing from a contemporary mystery to a bit of a paranormal mystery thriller by the end. I was a bit bored at the beginning but I really got into it at the halfway mark. I do wish there would have been more screentime given to Iris because her background and psychic abilities were definitely a highlight! The debate of nature vs nurture debate was great to have in here!

I‘m on the #blogtour and I couldn‘t be more excited...
#DiveSmack by Demetra Brodsky is about a high school springboard dive champ named Theo Mackey who lost both of his parents tragically, including his mom in a fire that he caused. This is anything BUT a simple high school tale; it‘s a tense, psychological thriller that I gave a 5 star review to: 👉🏼 http://kamoorephoto.booklikes.com/post/1764043/blog-tour-review-dive-smack-by-de...
