I found Sabrina to be a little annoying at times with her unwillingness to try a relationship. Tucker is amazing. I also wish some of the antagonists would be put in their place.  I would like to have some of the plot lines to be expanded on. 

Great message and lovely book overall.

Ever since I've started reading the Off-Campus series by Elle Kennedy this year, I have never thought "There's no way Kennedy could top these two characters as a couple". As much as I have done every time I open the next book in the series. Then the next. Then the next.

But every time, she somehow succeeds in doing so.

Favourite relationship? Hannah and Garrett--no brainer there.

Favourite Guy? Toss-up between Fitzy and Beau (RIP King. You were my husband throughout the series and I hoped you would have gotten your own book.)

How could you, Kennedy?

Favourite Girl? Definitel Grace. What a GirlBoss. Love her so much <3

Once again Elle Kennedy gives us offensive portrayal of queer women and people of color + a solid dose of sexism and reinforcing stupid gender norms.

  This is a banger for being the last of the series with the boys, even though I am aware there is some sort of a reunion novel “The Legacy”. Tucker is such a sweet man and such an amazing father and there is something that just hits different about someone being a good partner and father. Sabrina is also such a badass as a person, she is a hard worker and I honestly want to be her when I grow up minus the accidental surprise pregnancy.
