Appreciated that it was a bit more of a slow burn, almost friends to lovers. 

Liked Hunter, but didn't find Demi convincing as a character. Nothing about her made sense, especially her relationship with her parents.

Elle Kennedy does it again!  I love the Briar hockey boys soooo much!!!! This book was very cute but also dealt with some heavy subjects.  I love the friendship Demi and Hunter had in the beginning and how their relationship developed over time.  I love how supportive they were of each other and how they helped each other to overcome challenging situations. 

This book also had a few perfect silly moments!!! Without spoiling anything, two of my favorites are: “yupp yupp” and the scenes that included Pablo.

This book is the perfect mix of silly, sweet, and serious. Of note, I usually don’t have to add trigger warnings, but there is a scene dealing with suicide, so proceed with caution.

Eine gute Freundschaft, die sich slowburn-mäßig zu einer Romanze entwickelt
Kurz gesagt: Ein weiteres Buch von Elle Kennedy, das ich einfach liebe ❤️ Ich liebe die Charaktere, die Story, die Freundschaften, die ganzen Nebengeschichten, das ganze Briar University Universum ist einfach wundervoll ✨ Dieses Buch hatte vor allem auch einige echt spannende Stellen, an denen ich gar nicht mehr aufhören konnte zu lesen. Demi ist ein interessanter Charakter und auch Hunter näher kennenzulernen war echt schön 🥰 Danke für dieses schöne Buch ✨ (Ich empfehle auch allen, den extended epilogue zu lesen, da wird sogar aus Hollis Sicht geschrieben 🥰)

Okay, wtf? Quite frankly, the only reason I finished this one is bc 1) I used an audible credit for this 2) mostly wondering what Hollis and Rupi (sp?) were going to do and 3) praying that it turns around and comes close to what Elle Kennedy delivered in the Off Campus series and Campus Diaries series.

I HATED how Demi and that guy pretended to be hooking up to make Hunter jealous, prompting him to break his vow of celibacy. And for what? So she could get her rebound??? … the fuck??? You couldn’t wait a few months until the end of the season? 

It also doesn’t seem in character for everyone to judge his decision to be celibate. The least judgmental person was Garrett and that was a brief mention. 

Also, the thing where Demi went behind his back to “surprise” him with the intro to the agent. She takes first prize for least likable main character in the Briar world. Quickly followed by Fitz (don’t get me started). 

This whole series is supremely subpar compared to the Off-Campus series and Campus Diaries series. So far Brenna and Jake are carrying the whole thing. I’ll listen to the fourth book, but only bc I already used my last audible credit on it before realizing what a shit show this series is.
