This book reminded me why I love Elle Kennedy's writing. It was fun and sweet with a little bit of spice and so easy to read. I love Fitz, he was the perfect mix of geek and jock and I loved that despite being a star ice hockey player he hated the limelight. Summer was another great character to follow as she very much was a character that on the outside looked like she had everything but on the inside had a lot of insecurities because of her learning difficulties. Together, they really balanced each other out. I do think the Hunter love triangle thing was kind of unnecessary as you knew that Hunter was never really and option. The adults were the worst in this book. The billionaire and Summer's advisor/the assistant dean had such big chips on their shoulders from their past that they acted like petulant children. The way they treated Summer and Fitz (the billionaire towards Fitz) was ridiculous and just made me want to shout at them to grow up. Professor Laurie was disgusting and just gave me the creeps all the way through and the fact that he was in a position he was in was awful, I wish I could have seen him truly get what was coming to him at the end because I would love to see him put in his place. Overall. I am glad to get back to the Briar campus because it is just a fun and easy read.
