The Summer Deal by Jill Shalvis
A very sweet and enjoyable read. I finished it in two days but probably would have finished it in one if I hadn’t gotten sidetracked.
It’s a great summer read. I appreciated the dialogue the most - it felt really authentic and young to me, like the people in that age group would actually talk, with swear words sprinkled throughout. Note: the swearing wasn’t excessive, but was placed thoughtfully and authentically.
This is a book where miscommunication abounds, to occasionally disastrous effect. Maybe sometimes more than occasionally!
One of the best parts of the book, for me, is the friendship between Eli and Kinsey. It’s like family and I very rarely see a strong bond between a man and a woman that isn’t weaved through with sexual tension. This was really refreshing to read about.
I could definitely see this book as a series, with books about future adventures in the family. It’s sweet and fun, perfect for a summer day/beach read.
