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.

Full transparency, surprise pregnancy tropes are not a favorite of mine, which only decreases when it happens to new adult characters. Because of this I was already skeptical going into this book. However Elle Kennedy did a great job addressing a serious issue with a not always mature age range.

She was able highlight the struggles and concerns the MFC was having without her losing her entire self

Was it my favorite book of the Series, No. But this was a good ending for the Briar Hockey Boys.

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 guess I’m not a pregnancy trope person. I don’t know. It was very distracting to read the first part of the book and know it was coming and then it felt like the second half dragged on and on. I know why Sabrina took so long to

tell Tucker that she loved him

, but it kind of felt like an excuse to show us what life with a baby was like.

I am actually so mad about Tucker’s mom. She was a selfish bitch and I would have only allowed her to be in my baby’s life again after a year of groveling. Also, Tucker didn’t do shit to help Sabrina! I would lose my shit if my boyfriend’s mom treated me like that. That whole part was just bloodcurdling anger for me and I guess we’re just supposed to forgive and forget like Sabrina? No motherfucking way. Fuck that woman.
