2.0

I understand why people love it, but, this book isn’t for me. 

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… the twinning nature of these two books might influence my rating. (FYI - I enjoyed Icebreaker more than The Deal).

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.

A really fun read, the perfect amount of spice and fluff and plot. Super tragic back stories for both MCs. Def check the attached CWs before reading. Really sweet book overal though
