"We're happy because we want to be, because we're pouring our energy and emotion into each other in the best possible way."

I would like to say that I sympathize with Sabrina's character. She really did go through a lot of trauma and would probably benefit from therapy. I wouldn't say I dislike her but I wouldn't say she's my favorite compared to the three other girls.

She was a bit frustrating as a character, and I can understand why. Tucker's character was also lost on me towards the end of the book. Not sure if I quite agree with the comments he was making about his baby. Also, completely lost me with the baby name too.

I feel like both these characters didn't really grow, and at times they still feel like they're in "lust" with each other.

Also did not need to relive the death of Beau again.

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.

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!! 🥰
