Product Description
Coll and Art are back together again, and the question of sex is also back on the agenda. But it's different now - Coll feels the time is right. She is unprepared for the powerful new emotions that sex produces, though, and has to make sure she keeps her head above water...
From the Author
This is the second book in the Coll and Art series .....
This is the second book in the Coll and Art series .....
and it's been translated into Italian, German, Spanish, Swedish, Danish, Portuguese - and American! We had such a good response to Diving In that my publishers gave me real freedom and not much censorship with In the Deep End - which was great! I wanted to write about the incredible power of a sexual relationship, and how it complicates your life. If I had one aim it was to get over the message: don't settle for second best. Coll doesn't. I had a fab review for this, Books for Keeps, March 1998, 'This book contains some of the best writing about love and sex that I have ever read in a book for young people. Coll's increasing passion for Art is so beautifully charted that I defy any reader to remain unmoved ... emotionally stunning.' --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Format:Paperback
As i said in my review of 'diving in' i literrally couldn't put these 3 books down and read all 3 in 2 days. And this, the second installment in the trilogy, was the best of the three. After reading 'diving in' i was dying to know what was goin to happen to them, (i know i know, they're not real. but still)
Coll has forgiven Art for pressuring her and assuming she'd sleep with him and they are back togethor. Soon she feels she's ready to go all the way, and they sleep togethor, and its the start of an intense and passionate realationship as her feelings for him grow stronger and stronger. But is Coll prepared for the emotional journey that comes with sex, and love? she also see's just how much Art's background (and father) have messed him up inside and wonders if he will ever open up, admit his feelings and let her in. And will everything else thats going on around them, with their parents, friends and school, put pressure on their realationship?
This is emotionally stunning writing, especially when coll decides to go see Art in the last few chapters, and gives him her true feelings, (trying not to give too much away). By the end of that chapter i was in tears (and i hardly ever cry at books or films)
This is the most emotional of the three. The characters (especially Coll and Art) grow brilliantly, and become so real - they come to life. Coll's emotions and what she goes through felt so real, like i was feeling them with her. Her feelings for Art overpowered her. I would love to feel as much for a guy (and hopefully have it returned) as she does for Art. The passion and intensity. As if there is no one else she could ever want.
Kate cann is right when she say's you either love Art or hate him, despite his arrogance and cockyness, i loved him. And i felt for him. I felt that he really does feel a lot for coll, but his past has a big affect on how he shows his feelings, he cannot trust people, he can't let them get close, let them in.
A truly amazing read.

First of all we need to say, can we get a 'hell yeah!' The most slammin' book of the trilogy. With Arts masses of sex appeal & emotional boundaries we understand where Coll is coming from. Kate's writing skills enable u to open your mind as her wording is so vivid, its enough to get any imagination going!

In the Deep End is yet another excellent book by Kate Cann.Like Diving In it is at times funny,emotional and very sad.It's a lot more deep this time,as is Coll and Art's relationship.You WON'T be able to put it down.If you've read Diving In you absolutely HAVE to read this!!
