I loved this whole book though. It's not my favorite out of the three books I've read so far but it was still a fantastic read. I was laughing pretty often anime reading this. I absolutely loved Dean and Allie together. I'm glad Allie found someone who wasn't going to hold her back or hurt her(at least not intentionally).
I hated Sean in this book. Which was surprising because I really liked him in the last book. But he was an absolute asshole in this book. And we really get to see just how toxic the relationship between Allie and Sean really was. The things he said to her and the names he called her were just downright appalling and I'm so glad that Allie stood her ground the entire book and refused to get back with him(and even to just be friends with him in the end).
I loved seeing the appearances from the previous characters again. I love how protective Garrett was of Allie(with Allie being his girlfriend Hannah's best friend) when everyone found out about Dean and Allie's relationship. Logan was just hilarious as always. I wish Tucker had shown up more, but with that cliffhanger I understand a little bit why he was somewhat MIA throughout this book. And I'm excited to get into his and Sabrina's story.
All in all I'm still completely loving series and can't wait to continue it. I'm getting through these books faster than I thought I would. That's how good they are.

Spice Scale: 🌶🌶🌶🌶
CW: Slut Shaming, Death, Drug Use, Grief, Suicidal Ideation (Mention)
I will admit that I didn’t really like Dean much in the first two books, but The Score totally changed my mind. He’s cocky, but also such a secret softie. His coaching was sweet to watch, and his support of his friends was endearing.
I loved how his and Allie’s relationship developed from a rebound to friends to something real. The had amazing chemistry and the fact that they were still pining for each other while carrying on with a sexual relationship was so well done. They had such a supportive relationship, and the conflict between them at the end was realistic and handled with care and nuance.
I think The Score might be my favorite of the series. It was funny (the bathtub scene and Dean and Beau’s Twilight conversation especially), soft, and sexy. It checked all the boxes.

“Seriously, just find yourself a rebound.” Dean whips up his arm. “I volunteer as tribute."
I love love love Dean and Allie together! I totally did not expect the third book to be about Dean AND Allie! I thought another unnamed character would be Dean's love interest but it's Hannah's best friend! I would not have thought of that one at all! But I guess it got to be someone like Allie who could make Dean monogamous! She's his Renesmee (*wink wink*). OMG! The bathroom scene!!!! I can't! I laughed so hard during that chapter!!!! It's been a long time since I've lol-ed irl so it's definitely a plus points.
Story-wise, it's a good read. I wasn't bored and to be honest, I listened to this in one day. So that means I was really into it. I was just sad to see how Dean handles grief because everybody's been there and yes, I can see why Allie would be like that and I'm not blaming anyone. I was just happy to see them both back together because they are definitely soulmates.
Plus points for Allie's narrator because it's waaaaay better than the previous girl narrator.
