This book in the Briar U series was fun and easy but still dealt with a few harder issues. This one felt different from the previous two in the series but in a great way. This book focused less on the core group from the first books and we got a slew of new characters. Demi was a blast. She’s a powerful and smart young woman who knows what she wants but through the book we got to see her softer sides as well. Loved getting insight into Hunter who I found so mopey and exhausting during the last two books. He had good character growth and was just much more well rounded than I expected. Good amount of spice but it takes a bit to get there as it is friends to lovers.

I really enjoyed Hunter and Demi. Their story was so perfect and I liked the pace of it. Their own individual side plots were good, too. I loved all the off-campus character cameos.

justice for my man Tucker though

I think this is definitely my favorite from the Briar U series so far! I really loved delving into Hunter’s backstory and also reading about Demi. Their story started off so different and developed in a such an interesting way, in comparison to the other Briar universe books. Also, the epilogue was slightly unexpected and it was a nice lighthearted way to end the novel.   I personally wasn’t a huge fan of the usage of the word “shrink.” Also, the hero complex that occurred at the end was quite questionable. I think the entire situation should’ve been written at a different angle, because it really just felt like the author and characters didn’t understand what was actually happening, in my opinion.
