The Heart of the Deal by Lindsay MacMillan
1.0

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an ARC of this book. I tried desperately to find something to like about this, but found the plot incredibly underwhelming and was very bothered by the toxicity of Rae’s relationship with Dustin. I’m still not sure what the takeaway was supposed to be, but found myself more annoyed than anything as this book went on. While I think the intention was to provide strong, positive messages to female readers, I wasn’t left feeling those landed the way the author thought they would.
