So I love this series and I love a the characters in this universe but Diana took me awhile to like. Maybe it’s just me but I can’t stand someone who is just mean to be mean. Because they don’t approve of someone’s lifestyle… yeah no. She had no reason to treat Shane the way she did. I didn’t find d it cute. She did redeem herself to where I was rooting for them but it took me awhile to like her. She is the reason why the book wasn’t a 5 for me. Otherwise I LOVED this book.

Ask me if I’m okay? (I’m not.)

Elle Kennedy gets better and better, and I never want to let Briar University go. The Dixon Rule is sexy, gut-wrenching, thought-provoking, hilarious, and will hold your heart in its clutches and never let go.

I wasn’t sure I was ready to say goodbye to Gigi and Ryder but Diana and Shane have stolen my heart. Their expert sarcasm and undeniable chemistry makes for some truly hilarious scenes. Then enters Will Larson and we have truly been rewarded with some of the sexiest writing I have ever been honoured enough to read. Oh my. This book had me blushing from head to toe.

As Elle does so beautifully, The Dixon Rule, romantic as it was, handled some truly devastating and harrowing topics so very well. From domestic abuse to terminal illness, each hard-hitting topic was dealt with with grace, respect and an understanding of how different people handle the same situations differently and that’s okay. I would strongly advise you to check your trigger warnings before reading The Dixon Rule but please be assured that this story is one of love and resilience and handles each of these subjects with the utmost care.

I was SO thrilled to see the appearance of so many of your favourite Briar U characters. I’m still eagerly awaiting the arrival of everyone but to get a deeper glimpse into the lives of our OGs was so much fun. That being said: justice for Allie, Brenna, Grace, Taylor and Demi, most of whom haven’t even had a mention yet! Fitz too!

I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, I’ve giggled like a school girl. The Dixon Rule was everything.

A fun follow up for the Graham Effect! Loved the enemies to lovers plot and the lack of a third act break up, just got waaaayy too intense towards the end. Elle Kennedy will always have me as a fan though!

This book gave me all the feels!! I did not want to finish this book because there are no more books in the Briar universe out yet to read, but I just COULDN’T put it down!! I literally didn’t eat anything today till like 10pm cause I was so engrossed in the book, I literally forgot to eat, & just didn’t eat until I finished the book! The after book depression is real right now! I just want more!!! And the last 100 pages are just a whirlwind rollercoaster! Sooo much happens!! And I cried!! Love this book! Love this series! I don’t know what I’m going to do now!
