The Summer Deal review:

Kinsey and Brynn have been enemies since summer camp as kids. Eli is Kinsey’s best friend, and Brynn’s first kiss (at said summer camp) After a failed relationship, Brynn finds herself in the hospital with a panic attack and stumbles back into the lives of Kinsey and Eli. What happens next is a whirlwind of events to pick up the pieces of Brynn’s life and start anew.

I loved how the girls had their journal entries start each chapter. It really gave us depth on their enemy status, but also how their personality was shaping.

This isn’t just about two frenemies that are technically half sisters. This isn’t just about childhood camp crush hoping for that spark once reunited. This story goes deeper than that. It’s a story about hope, living life on limited time, a love story about loving yourself and the company you keep. (Faults and all). Brynn is trying to find her second chance at life with a new start. Kinsey is trying to find her second chance with a new kidney.

I kept getting the girls names confused, I won’t lie. I kept thinking Kinsey was Brynn, vise versa. With the diary entries, it almost read like a YA, but had romantic moments to even it out. This was my first Jill Shalvis, and I definitely plan on reading more.

The Summer Deal comes out 6.2.2020. Be on the lookout! Thank you NetGalley and William Morrow for the opportunity to read this eARC in exchange for my opinion.
