The Sweetheart Deal initially peaked my interested because I am a sucker for a good love story.
I did get hung up on the structure of the book however. Its chapters are titled by the main character's names. Each chapter thus gives the perspective of the titled chapter. Although the writer does write well, I found this method of telling the story choppy, disjointed and each situation was discussed at great length.
Luckily the writer does have a gift for writing, but the format of the book made the story arduous.
I don't mind profanity in books, but it was often used in conversation that seemed out of place. It was jarring when used in casual conversation.
It's a good story and the writer is talented. I just didn't care for the format and the unnecessary profanity.
