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.

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.

while I didn’t love this one as much as The Deal (that book will always be top tier), I really enjoyed seeing Sabrina grow to love herself and accept love from others. that, and baby Jamie was so damn cute :)

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.
