I really liked this, even though I'm not a big fan of the romance genre in general. There was a decent plot, believable conflict and also likable characters. So if you're looking for romance, but didn't like the love hypothesis, maybe try this one? But then again, no guarantee, just try it. It's a quick read so not much time wasted. (

The Deal was one of those rare and unexpected books that had my captured my full attention. If you are looking for a book that was beautifully well-written, a storyline that was flawlessly executed, and characters that brought life to the book then look no further than The Deal. Ms. Kennedy brilliantly wrote a book that integrated humor, banter, friendship, romance and characters that felt real. Ms. Kennedy didn’t just give us an ordinary college romance but she gave us characters that were mature, relatable, and realistic.

This book is not your typical ordinary girl falling in love with the jock with the same college recycled romance but instead a story of two real, honest, and mature adults who are dealing with their past. There is no woe is me which I absolutely love. This book had two main characters who had ambitions and knew what they wanted in life. They didn't let their tragic past define them and that’s what I love about this book. What started as girl tutoring the jock, became a story that showcased how sometimes in life you learn to appreciate the unexpected things in life. In this case, an unexpected friendship and romance.
