Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for Dive Smack by Demetra Brodsky. This tour is being hosted by Fantastic Flying Book Club.
Dive Smack
Publisher: TorTeen
Release Date: June 19, 2018
Genre: Young Adult, Contemporary
Synopsis:
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 Theo’s mind, for good reason. Maybe it’s 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 him question what he really knows about his family, the night of the fire, and if he can trust anyone—including himself.

Dream Cast:
- Lucas Till for Theo Mackey – I feel like he has the perfect mix of athletic and kind.
- Dylan O’Brien for Chip Langford – I seriously can’t picture another person more Chip-like.
- Zhenya Katava in this photo is how I picture Iris Fiorello.
- Mads Mikkelson is the actor I’ve always seen as Dr. Phil Maddox while I was writing.
- Finn Harris is my perfect Rocco Bennett.
- Daniel Sherman is my top pick Les Carter.
- Alan Arkin would be amazing as Theo’s Grandfather, Bruce Mackey, ie: GP.
- I don’t know who the girl is in the picture I kept for Amy Sloan. I just remember it was from a haircut link on Pinterest.
- James Brolin would be supremely perfect for Curtis Jacobs.

Oh I really want to read this. I have the arc. I was hoping to get to it before the release but I have been slacking on my arcs. I can’t wait to read it though and use this as a reference.

Oooh it’s been so long since I’ve seen a Lucas Till movie. I’d totally watch this! And this book is new to me, so that’s interesting as well. 🙂 New WP follower!
