This book really disappointed me. It wasn’t at all the fun and sweet novel I have grown accustomed to with this series. And it wasn’t even the good kind of serious either, because I didn’t particularly care for any of the drama and neither was it executed very well. The whole thing was rather boring and everything fell a bit flat. 

To be fair, I actually kind of liked the beginning of this novel. It really wasn’t bad and it had potential. When Sabrina got knocked up, however, everything went completely down the drain. I hate accidental pregnancy tropes, and this one was no different. It ruined all the tension and it just became forced and too much: Slow-burn passion (which was already not so slow-burn due to a bunch of insta-love on Tucker’s side) became immediate obligation. 

It’s not even that I didn’t like Tucker and Sabrina. They were okay; I just didn’t really care for them. They made such odd choices and their communication was horrifyingly bad. Also, Tucker lacked personality in my opinion. He was nice, but he was kind of just there. He didn't seem like a real person to me.

If there’s one thing I learned after this last book though, it’s that I really freaking dislike Dean. He’s always been my least favourite of the guys, but now he actually makes me kind of angry. He’s such an arsehole.

Speaking of people I didn’t like in this book: Tucker’s mom. Damn, did that woman get on my nerves. She was such a hypocrite too, as she was more than happy to let Tucker change his whole life to live with her in Texas, but got all bitchy to Sabrina when her son had to alter his life for their upcoming child. I hated her with a fiery passion and I, more than once, wanted Tucker to tell her to shut up and mind her damn business. 

Anyway, I am glad, however, that my fav, Garrett, still appears to be the cutie that we know and love. Every time I did laugh during this book, which was few and far between, it was because of something he (or Logan) said. Garrett and Hannah will always be the best couple. Love them. And honestly, seeing flickers of them in this novel really made me realize how much more I liked The Deal than any of the other books in this series.
I mean, the series really started off on such a high, but it’s been going down-hill ever since. I still have faith that the spin-off series will pick up, though, so I’m not going to quit this universe just yet.
