LOVE LOVE LOVE! Okay, lets add another LOVE!!! Yes, that’s right I am absolutely in LOVE with The DEAL by Elle Kennedy. In my honest opinion, this book was by far hands down one of the best NEW ADULT college romance books that I have read. While I was devouring this book in one sitting, I had a big fat smile throughout the book. There is no other way to say it, this book just left me HAPPY and SMITTEN. Simply, The Deal is a gem of a read that MUST BE READ!!! All I got to say, Elle Kennedy, you rocked my world when you introduced us to Garrett Graham, whom I must say is on my top list of book boyfriends of 2015.

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.
All I got to say is go read THE DEAL!!! As I write this review, I so badly want to re-read this book again. P.S. Elle- Can I have Garrett? <3
