The characters were fun to read about, even though I didn't love all of them equally the whole time. The banter between the two MCs was so fun to read.
The story itself was pretty good. As with most books, there were some problematic parts but it did not subtract too much from the reading experience as a whole.
10/10 would recommend.

Hannah is a sexual assault survivor, and the fallout and recovery from the attack are central to the plot.
Side note: I read “Icebreaker” immediately before this book, and there are so many similarities: college campus, FMC on a scholarship, her singing/figure skating partner sabotages her, MMC is a hockey stud with a controlling/abusive father, she’s poor, he’s insanely rich… (I enjoyed Icebreaker more than The Deal).
Moderate: Cancer, Death of parent, and Domestic abuse
Hannah was drugged and assaulted at a high school party that happened before the events of this book. Her recovery from that trauma is integral to the plot.faith99's review against another edition
