Waist Deep by Linea Maja Ernst

A  luscious summer novel about friends, lovers, and friends’ lovers.
 
Five friends from university; seven summer days in a lakeside cabin in Denmark. A chance to swim, sunbathe, flirt, read and recreate the magic of their youth. At least that’s what Sylvia had hoped.

But then her friends arrive with real jobs, kids and partners. Amongst them are Charlie and Sylvia -a lesbian couple, Quince, a trans man exploring his masculinity and  Esben (her decades-long crush) with his partner Karen who announce their plan to get married at the end of the week. As desire and anxiety swirl, and the wedding day approaches, will the group achieve their arcadian dreams or will everything come tumbling down?

'Hot, heady and beautifully queer, Waist Deep pulls you under and doesn’t let go. I felt every breath, every touch, every impossible desire. It’s a novel that lives in the body'  - Lotte Jeffs
