Im loving the off campus series and i was going to give this book 5 stars. However the last 25% of this book really dropped the rating for me.
Logan’s dad being an alcoholic really hit home for me as someone with a parent that struggles with this, and the way alcoholism is presented in this book is honestly very accurate. However, i hated how Grace reacted to this. The way she gets mad at Logan for saying she might leave him because he has to take care of his dad is something i also imagine happening to me and i think Grace had no right to react the way she did and blame Logan for that while he was going through a rough spot. I also did not like Grace when Logan made the “mistake” which honestly i don’t think was as big of a deal as she made it out to be. She could’ve just heard him out when he called her during the break and try and understand what he was saying but the fact that she just completely ignored him annoyed me so much
Personally i didn’t really like Graces actions during this book but i absolutely loved Logan, he’s the sweetest. I do think i liked the first 50-70% of this book more than ‘The Deal’ but the last part of the book just really ruined the story for me. However i still think this is a good, quick read and i will continue the series
