 I recommend this book if you like: 
-new adult 
-romance 
-cool guy falls for shy girl 

I absolutely loved this book. The character development was great and I really felt like I understood the characters well. Daisy had her eye on Liam from her college class but bad boy Jordan got in between and asked Daisy for tutoring. 

Daisy and Jordan ended up falling for one another. Jordan revealed to Daisy that he hadn’t needed tutoring but just wanted to keep her away from Liam but ended up falling for her instead. Daisy was mad that she had been lied to but Jordan made some lovely romantic gestures and won her back. It ended with a five year in the future snapshot where they are married and expecting a baby.
 

I am definitely going to read more in the Campus Wallflowers series.

BRB going to rewatch OTH, because this one is for the Nathan/Haley girlies!  This book does a great job with the tutoring trope with a side of reformed bad boy/playboy. Two seemingly incompatible characters Daisy and Jordan are brought together. They bring out different sides of each other- Jordan breaking Daisy out of her shell and Daisy grounding Jordan. You will easily find yourself rooting for them. I loved seeing Jordan sweet side. I do wish we saw a little more of the friend groups but I expect that more in the upcoming books. I recommend this book for fans of Rebecca Jenshak’s Wildcat series, very similar vibe but in a college setting.

Book had a lot of potential but was getting tired of the lack of communication which led to miscommunication. I found Daisy to be exhausting with her insecurities about everything. there are "quiet girls" and there are "insecure girls" and Daisy is the latter imo. 

My other complaint is more about Jenshak's use of alcohol. these character drink so much it's ridiculous. Yea, i get it, it's college! drinking! partying! but it is so tiring having to read each time the hero and heroine are together they're usually drinking, especially before the sex scenes. this was my second  Jenshak book, I did enjoy Broken Hearts, but I now I see that drinking is so heavily involved her books I think this might be my last one.
