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 was hopeful because there finally was some variation in the plot compared to the first three books, but there were just too many unlikeable characters and problematic situations that weren't handled well. It was offputting.

This book was good! Definitely the weakest out of the whole series, but maybe that’s because I don’t like the pregnancy trope. I also expected this book to start off right when the last one ended and that was not the case.

Probably my least favorite of the series so far. Alot of back and forth. Alot of internal yelling "go for it! Stand up for yourself! Tell him!" Now on to the last book :)

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.

 The Goal

Format : audiobook | Audible
Rating : 4 stars
Genre : New Adult, Contemporary, Romance
No Spoilers :

This was such an adorable story! I don’t think I’ve read a lot of pregnancy trope books before hence I never really had an opinion. I however enjoyed this book completely!

Sabrina is wonderful protagonist! Yes there are times she is just too stubborn for her own good but it’s mainly because she doesn’t want to burden other people and I felt some familiarity with that. I suppose thats why I really love this character. I wanna be her when I grow up !
Tucker is a complete book boyfriend! Absolutely loved him!

Overall the story was wonderful and kept me engrossed throughout. I did get a bit confused with the names of all the characters but I think it’s mainly because I started this series so far ahead.
Definitely picking up another one in this series!
