Wonderful story
This story is full of family and friends that become your chosen family. The characters were very easy to identify with and I enjoyed learning about each one and their pasts.

“The Summer Deal” is your best book to date. The characters are so well developed and timely and hurt. You can feel the hurt and the healing on the pages. Probably the best I’ve read all year.

The Summer Deal took a different approach to the "summer romance" scene. Finding herself back home and broke, Brynn needs to figure out what's next. Knowing she doesn't want to live with her moms, she sets out to find lodging... but comes up short on budget. Enter Eli, blast-from-the-past and summer camp crush. Eli happens to have a room for Brynn to rent... right next to Brynn's camp nemesis and Eli's best friend, Kinsey.
Brynn and Eli quickly strike up a relationship. The real relationship development in The Summer Deal turns out to be Brynn's and Kinsey's. A refreshing change to the summer romance, Brynn and Kinsey each realized something about themselves as well as the other that they hadn't discovered all those years ago.
I really enjoyed the "woman power" aspect of this novel and liked the non-traditional take on the "slow build." Granted, Brynn and Eli still had some relationship developing to do, Brynn and Kinsey really took center stage here, and it worked out for the better.

Jill Shalvis is as prolific a writer as Danielle Steele or Nora Roberts but I think she's much more fun. Her books are always a quick read that I always want to get back to until I finish it. Her theme's are almost always about sisters and about damaged people who don't trust their own judgement in issues of the heart. And the sex is always fabulous, lusty and from the soul as well as the body. She is my go-to in between books with heavier topics.
