I was a little weary going into this one, because Dean’s personality in The Deal and The Mistake rubbed me the wrong way. I’m glad to say he won me over, but it took the whole book for it to happen. He f-ed up big, and I respect the hell out of him for the way he cleaned up the mess he made of his life. Allie was sweet, funny, and a good friend. Her strength and ability to call BS and walk away when she needed to was so well written. I loved the banter between them and the way they pushed each other to figure out who they were and what they wanted. The spice was perfectly timed. The intensity and adventurous nature fit them perfectly. The plot sucked me in and held me captive. The ending was good, and it had me running to pick up The Goal. While Dean redeemed himself and proved to be worthy of Allie, Garrett is still my fav!

Still just as good. Still a fave. Dean is amazing. I do think The Deal is a better book, probably… but I personally enjoy The Score the most. Yes, because of Dean.

Original read- April 2020

9.5/10 - ok this was stupid cute, also i feel like the characters in this one were supposed to not be very likable but i LOVED them, it was a friends with benefits turned lovers story & tbh i’m struggle to decide which on i liked more so far, the deal or the score, currently it’s the score, but we’ll see after i finish the series where my true allegiances lie, and dontcha worry there is an elle kennedy ranked soon to come post the off campus series

this one had to have been my favorite of the off campus books thus far. there were SOOOO many times I was laughing HARD. I wasn’t expecting the end with beau at all because beau is everything good in this world. his twilight comparisons had me cackling till my chest hurt. the reveal to hannah and garrett was everything and i ATE THAT UP
