The Deal by Elle Kennedy
1.5
Was this good? No. But was it entertaining? I guess π
Elle Kennedy's books are constantly popping up and I love a hockey romance so I decided to give this series a go. Trying to give the benefit of the doubt because this was originally written in 2015.. but it was so cringey π Also there were so many things that didn't make sense to me- the main thing being the fact that Garrett is supposed to be the star player of the hockey team which is also the biggest sport at this college and he doesn't have a scholarship?? That just makes zero sense to me
To elaborate on the cringiness- the author mentions so many times that Garrett or whatever other supposedly hot guys look so hot with their thumbs in their belt loops and I'm just like??? This has never ever actually looked cool π also they all wear cargo pants π
Also Hannah was kind of the worst?? She is no not a girl's girl and I find it really weird that when she refers to her best friend she's like "I can totally picture her starring in a romantic comedy. She's not Angelina Jolie-beautiful, but she's got a cute, fresh-faced look" like??? that is such a weird thing to say
I could go on and on about all the issues I had with this book lol
Also, beware that there is quite a lot of talk about a past rape in this book, somewhat graphically. Also a lot of talk about past physical abuse and some allusion to current physical abuse.
Anyways, I'm gonna go read the next book now because Logan was the real star of this one and he's the MMC in the next one soooo
