I wasn’t sure how I felt about the young pregnancy but I ended up loving the book. It portrays the hardships of a working mother and the awkward, “are we just coparent friends or lovers” dilemma of a causal hookup-turned-pregnancy. I appreciated how they had to overcome Mrs. Tuckers harsh words because it felt more genuine than if everyone accepted the pregnancy and everything was easy.

TL;DR > this is a great series if you're looking for college vibes with a generous amount of spice.

I don't really read many books with the "pregnancy trope" in it, but this one was IT. Going into it I had a very limited idea of who Tucker was as a person and I fell head over heels for him within the first few pages. We love ourselves a man who isn't afraid of going after what he wants. After finishing this book I had a moment where I had to sit down and accept that he is fictional. Yeah that wasn't fun.

I found the story very believable and at some points quite heartbreaking. I really enjoyed how neither of the characters are portrayed as a "block" with one personality, so they feel quite realistic - imo-. Also, fuck Ray. I was lowkey hoping he'd die.

At this point I do think Tucker and Sabrina are my favorite couple of the Off-Campus series, but mainly because i felt more depth than with the other ones, followed right away by Dean and Ally.
Now - will I read all the spin offs? Yes of course. Was this series life changing? Not really, but I had a great time reading it.
