I enjoyed reading this book, but it was definitely my least favorite out of all the books in both the Briar U series and Off-Campus series. I didn’t really like a lot of the characters. I found Taylor’s constant self-deprecation to get annoying pretty fast. There wasn’t a lot to the character besides her being insecure which is unlike Elle Kennedy’s normal style. I have always appreciated that Elle Kennedy showcases and strong and confident female protagonist. This book felt lacking in that area.

it was like a high school romance forced to be in college for the sake of explicit scenes. downright offensive self descriptions from a “plus size” character (with no hope of body positivity in sight, or even slight motivation for of self love/internal confidence to be reached).

second AND third act breakups fuelled by miscommunication and solved just as terribly

i have really enjoyed other books by this author but this was really disappointing :(
