A review by sarjgbn
The Deal by Elle Kennedy

3.0

between 3.5 out of 5 stars
(maybe 4, the extra .25 for logan <3)

i know i would have loved this book and hannahgarrett significantly more if i hadn’t read it after sophieluca (nobody compares to them). but despite that i found hannahgarrett so incredibly cute. GOD tutoring / kind of fake dating to lovers... they served. they had such cute moments and kept me wanting more. i think they developed really well and i love their personalities are how they clashed but also worked so well with each other’s. however, they didn’t give me THAT MUCH of a rush as i was expecting, sadly (damn u sophieluca). but despite that it was good and they are so !,&/$/&&.

this deserves it’s own paragraph but lastly, john logan, i am SO incredibly in love with u. he was by far my favourite character even though he wasn’t that present and i can’t wait to read more of him!! i loved his friendship with garrett and i think it deserves to be talked about wayyy more but they do genuinely love each other and always have each other’s backs. ++ LASTLY AGAIN hannah’s relationship with all of garrett’s friends!!! i love their scenes && i can’t wait to see more of it.

second read:

3.5 / 5 stars

i have this bad habit of always reading hannahgarrett after an extreme brainrot book so im rlly sorry to them. but also they’re so cute as per usual!!!! such a comforting couple like they are just perfect. i wish the conflict didn’t happen so close to the end and we got to see a bit more of them together post-getting back together besides the one chapter + epilogue. the conflict felt kinda rushed because of that. but other than that, go hannahgarrett!!!
