A cute finale for the series which I thought gave a fairly satisfying conclusion.

Great story
I loved this!! Another great story about Alexis and Brett!! This picks up right where the last one left off and we get to see more of Brett and Lexi as they try and deal with high school and real problems. I love the lessons that we get from them and how they push each other to be better. I would love to see more of them and Eastline!!

There’s a lot going on in this third instalment, but very little of it is to do with the main couple.
Now Alexis and Brett have decided to try being a couple, there’s a lot of things getting in their way. Peripheral characters move to the fore, perhaps in an attempt to flesh out their lives a little, but it meant very little attention was focused on the two characters we’re most invested in.
This time round we have a potentially career-ending injury; the aftermath of date rape; a pregnancy; homophobic hate crime and then we have Alexis and Brett trying to navigate their way through the high school experience and their first steps of the relationship.
The story flies through the events unfolding in front of us, and a lot of things are resolved very easily. Things end on a positive note for our couple, but it didn’t feel all that satisfying.

YES! Oh Alexis has broken through me, i just loved these series. this book just screams highschool and all its goodness and badness, times have changed since i was in highschool. i mean it was the year flip phones came a thing. anywho. Alexis finally learned to break through her onion shell one layer at a time but not giving in too fast. and truthfully she was smart to take everything in small amounts and not trust easily. its highschool people are cruel. personally i would love to see where her and Bretts relationship ended up. did he get into football? are they still together, clearly i ship them and they have alot to learn since they are still young. but i truly think they make a great couple as the work with eachother well and kick eachothers butts where they need to. <3

Akhirnya Alexis dan Brett jadian juga!!! Yah walaupun banyak aturan dan larangan tapi lumayan lah gak bikin frustasi kek buku sebelumnya. Yang aku suka di sini Alexis tetap bitchy biarpun sudah punya pacar, tapi juga punya kesadaraan yang dewasa tentang relationship. Aku lihat ada perkembangan positif yang menarik dari kepribadiannya. kalau selama ini Brett nyaris melakukam segalanya, kali ini Alexis menunjukan dia bisa banget di andalkan dan jadi tiang kuat tempat Brett bersandar saat cowok ini membutuhkan. Dalam cara yang cute, buku ini menggambarkan dengan bagus keseimbangan dalam relasi dan bagaimana ikatan yang kuat itu harus diperjuangkan oleh kedua belah pihak. Buku ini mengingatkanku pada masa remaja, di saat hormon penuh gejolak, emosi on off dan jatuh bangun untuk belajar jadi dewasa. Sayang banget bagian endingnya justru terasa terburu-buru.

This series was jut what I needed. It was lighthearted, but still serious but topics that need to have some spotlight.
I am so happy I picked this series up! I read the whole series in two day.
This was such a cute and just good ending. We see change in the characters, and even though we don't know what happens next, like what college they are going to or if the blog is stopping after Lexi leaves, it was a satisfying conclusion.
We left on a good note, and if there is ever coming another trip to Eastline I can't wait for it!

I loved this book. However. It could've been better.
I really love The Queen B* series. They're dramatic, hilarious, adorable, and uni-sex. I liked Alexis more in the first two books rather than in this one. She was more impulsive then, now she's way too calm and nice. Brett, is Brett. He's the great guy. He's prince charming in a jersey. And I like him in this book (personally I love assholes more than nice guys, I know I'm weird).
This could've been better, but I'll take it as it is.

Today I am sad.
No not because The Queen B* and the Homecoming King (The Queen B* #3) was a bad story; far from it. In fact, it was really, really good. I am sad because I have no more books left in the Queen B* series to read.
In the latest Queen B* adventures Alexis and Brett face new dilemmas; they have moved on from the Summer drama. However, their latest challenge may prove the hardest yet to overcome.
Ok, to be honest, this third book was probably my least favourite out of the three books. I still loved it and I still got completely sucked into the world of Eastline High but I think The Queen B* and the Homecoming King was a much slower paced in comparison to the two previous books. I think this is helped by the fact that Alexis has softened. She isn’t as constantly angsty has she has been in the other books. The Queen B* and the Homecoming King (The Queen B* #3) is a brilliant read but I didn’t feel in as much of a rush to find out what happened next.
Somewhat ironically I am now chomping at the bit to find out what happens now. Will Alexis and Brett come to some mutual agreement concerning college? Will Morgan reveal the truth to her parents? What will Alexis’s mom’s wedding be like? And will Brett and Alexis ever do it? Who knows? The ball is in your court Crista McHugh. We want more Queen B*!
The Queen B* and the Homecoming King (The Queen B* #3) by Crista McHugh is available now.
