Best of all, Kennedy's protagonists seem mentally healthy enough to be in a successful relationship-or they get there by the end of the book, anyway. There is so much to like about this series: great dialogue, easygoing humor, sympathetic characters. In The Score, Hannah's friend Allie falls into a rebound fling with the campus playboy, but they soon discover that their meaningless sex isn't so meaningless after all. but manages to screw up their budding relationship almost immediately. In The Mistake, Garrett's teammate Logan meets the perfect girl. ![]() ![]() In The Deal, aspiring singer Hannah Wells sets out to overcome a past trauma with some no-strings-attached sex with her new pal Garrett Graham, the captain of her school's championship-winning hockey team.
