Hannah is a sexual assault survivor, and the fallout and recovery from the attack are central to the plot.
Side note: I read “Icebreaker” immediately before this book, and there are so many similarities: college campus, FMC on a scholarship, her singing/figure skating partner sabotages her, MMC is a hockey stud with a controlling/abusive father, she’s poor, he’s insanely rich… (I enjoyed Icebreaker more than The Deal).
Moderate: Domestic abuse, Cancer, and Death of parent
Hannah was drugged and taped at a high school party that happened before the events of this book. Her recovery from that trauma is integral to the plot.kaadee's review against another edition

I now understand all the hype surrounding Garrett Graham. He's one of the sweetest characters I've ever read about. I love how sweet, gentle, and patient he is when it comes to Hannah. And he and Hannah are just so cute together. I couldn't get enough of them.
Their friends are just hilarious as well. I honestly can't wait to get into their stories. I'm really looking forward to Logan's story and Dean's story(and Tucker's but mostly Logan and Dean's stories for now since so far they showed up more than Tucker did).
So I'd definitely highly recommend this book. And I'm excited to get into the next one.
