I read 'The Deal' in September 2023, and it was boring. This book was boring too. There was little plot, little character development and I just did not get attached to this book at all. People hype this series up so much and idk why, I don't see the hype. I'm gonna read book 3, 4 and 5 in hopes they are better than book 1 and 2 but I doubt they will be better. I do not recommend this series or author as she fetisises wlw relationships, and she is just overall problematic.
