Carrie Bell was born and raised in Winisconsin. she'a had the same best friend, the same good relationship with her mother, the same boyfriend for as long as anyone can remember. She is already quietly bored with Mike when he is horrifically injured in a diving accident at Clusen's Reservoir. Now the future that Carrie was only beginning to Rebel against looks set in stone. Everyone thinks they know what Carrie will - and ought to do. But Carrie is caught in a maze of moral dilemmas and is forced to question everything she thought she knew about herself. It is a moment of terrifying confusion, but also of mesmerising possibility.

The Dive From Clausen's Pier' will speak to all those who have ever thought about leaving when they knew they should stay, anyone who has ever felt trapped, not only by circumstance, but by the strength of their own love.

One of the best books I have picked up this year, I didn't want to put it down. The characters in the book will remind you of yourself or someone you know. Packer does an amazing job of letting each character come into their own and the reader can relate. Anyone who has left someone or moved away from someone should read this book, it will really resonate with you.

This story had so much potential but the author left me frustrated and wanting more. I thought that there were too many characters and they were underdeveloped. I wouldn't waste my time again.
