I loved this book and this series, it was a reread for me. It’s fun and a fast read, the characters are pretty relatable and all have pretty diverse personalities that all just work. My only issue with these books is that they end to fast. We get to live the “getting to know you” phases but as soon as it’s exclusive that’s it the books over. Which is ok because we do get the hea but I’m one of those readers that wants more. How does it work out???? The other 2 were ok to end that way because we see more of those couples in this book but now the series is over and I just feel like I need to know what happens next.

Mateo & Nell
It starts with a list and whole lot of heart and dedication.
Nell for me is one of my most favorite characters I have ever read. And I have read a lot. She is shy but not sufficiently so, if that makes sense. She is smart without throwing it in your face she just doesn't know who she really is yet. And that's part of the college experience she was lacking hence the list.
And that's where Mateo come in. He kind of shakes up her world a whole lot. He gets her to see she isn't just the smart girl, she is the fun girl, the funny girl, and the girl that can make mistakes, and its not the end of the world.
Nell doesn't know it but she brings out the best in Mateo too. He needed to see past his past and see that what happened in then doesn't mean they are going to be repeated. No two girls are the same no matter the similarities.
And that maybe just maybe something can come in front of football not obliterate it be just show him that it doesn't have to be all or nothing kind of thing, he is more then just football.
This book is my favorite so far of the whole series. I am sure that will change with Stella's book. And I get why her book wasn't third and for me I am really looking forward to her book the most. Sooooo now we wait..... is it out yet??? lol

Nell DeLuca is on the college fast track. She's graduating early, already has a pretty good internship lined up and is applying to grad school. But when she sees her roommate with her new boyfriend, Nell starts to realize that maybe there's some things she's missed out on - partying, making friends, losing ones virginity, etc. So she does what any studious college student would do -she makes a list. A bucket list of sorts.
Mateo Torres is the class clown so to speak. He's always got jokes for everyone, he's always laughing - basically just plain fun to hang around with. And he's also known to not remain too steady with just one girl. So when he sets his sights on Nell, red flags go up with those around them and suddenly its "watch yourself with him" "be careful with her". But Torres has always done what he wants and he wants Nell.
This series has been fun to read. I love college stories with some jocks thrown in - it's one of the easiest ways to my heart. And I instantly loved these two together. While on the outside it seemed like they had nothing in common, they fit well together. Torres brought Nell out of her shell and pushed her to find herself and what she wanted to do. And Nell focused Torres and helped him see what is actually important in life. It was fun to watch these two try to navigate each other. There was some floundering but what came out was a cutesy story that had me in all smiles.
Next up is Stella's story and I'm pretty sure this one is going to be tough to read with what we know of her so far. But I am ready for it and hope that Carmack is able to release it soon!

Though some of the self reflection at times was too much for me, the characters tenderness for each other is a total win. Mateo & Nell HEA is worth the read plus the PSA on concussions is an important one.

I've now caught up in the Rusk University series. And I just love it! I particularly liked the characters in this third volume. So pumped for #4!
