it’s so difficult to rate this one because the first 150 pages were good and made me hopeful. the page was good and the characters were likable. once we find out sabrina is pregnant everything becomes insufferable. i was actively frustrated the entire second half of the book. it felt very disconnected from the rest of the off-campus series and sabrina was such a brat. the constant “i don’t wanna tell him i love him” was so stupid and tiring. the pregnancy stereotypes were annoying and the pregnancy sex made me cringe. the ending was abrupt but i was glad to be done. i did love tucker, although his mother was also terrible.

Usually pregnancy tropes are not my favorite types of books. However this one had me gripped. I think in a lot of ways I saw parts of my self in Sabrina and maybe that’s why I enjoyed it so much. Tucker is such a lovable character. Him and Sabrina are the stereotypical “black cat-golden retriever” and I’m such a sucker for that. Tucker is everything any girl could ever possibly dream of in a guy. This was a great way for the original 4 books of the Off Campus series to end.

Ich liebe liebe liebe dieses Buch ❤️
von allen Off Campus Jungs ist Tucker die Nummer 1 für mich. Ich hätte nie erwartet, dass er so ist, wie er in diesem Buch ist, auch wenn er davor auch schon mein Favorit war. Und Sabrina ist auch so unglaublich, ich liebe sie ❤️ Ich liebe die beiden oder eher die drei zusammen, eine wunderschöne Familie 😉 
Und ich mochte auch die Szenen mit ihren Freunden sehr ☺️
Ein wunderschönes Buch, einfach herzallerliebst ❤️

Tucker and Sabrina are an unlikely couple and a fun one! I loved seeing this part of the timeline from their perspective and get some insight as to why Tucker was so private in the prior book! Tucker is such a patient and understanding character but I’m very glad his character flaws get addressed too. Some challenging topics in this one but I do love how things pan out for them! Sabrina is stubborn but thankfully comes around! Very grounded characters and a perfect match. 

The spice in this book is dialed up at 100 starting from the very beginning. This couple has stellar chemistry and their relationship outside of the bedroom makes their steamy sessions all the better! Tucker’s flip from nice guy all the time to demanding in the bedroom is a nice touch.

I can’t get over how much I love this series!!! I barely slept ALL weekend so I could read it! It’s absolutely incredible!! Tuck & Sabrina man! Yet again, Tuck is another dream man, especially with his southern accent! 😘 & headstrong Sabrina, I loved everything about her! & reading about all the past couples as aunts & uncles! I just love it!! I love everything about this book! & I can’t wait to start the Legacy & see where all the couples are in the future!! 🥰

As devastated as I am to bring the Off-Campus series to a close, my heart is warmed by the way we finished. Sabrina and Tucker are such gentle souls, and they truly deserve every happiness. I only wish they’d gotten it sooner!

As always, Elle Kennedy touches on heart-wrenching topics while still maintaining the utter joy of a good romance. I don’t know how she does it, but I’m so glad she does. To The Legacy!
