while I didn’t love this one as much as The Deal (that book will always be top tier), I really enjoyed seeing Sabrina grow to love herself and accept love from others. that, and baby Jamie was so damn cute :)

I was hopeful because there finally was some variation in the plot compared to the first three books, but there were just too many unlikeable characters and problematic situations that weren't handled well. It was offputting.

I found Sabrina to be a little annoying at times with her unwillingness to try a relationship. Tucker is amazing. I also wish some of the antagonists would be put in their place.  I would like to have some of the plot lines to be expanded on. 

Great message and lovely book overall.

Ever since I've started reading the Off-Campus series by Elle Kennedy this year, I have never thought "There's no way Kennedy could top these two characters as a couple". As much as I have done every time I open the next book in the series. Then the next. Then the next.

But every time, she somehow succeeds in doing so.

  

Favourite relationship? Hannah and Garrett--no brainer there.

Favourite Guy? Toss-up between Fitzy and Beau (RIP King. You were my husband throughout the series and I hoped you would have gotten your own book.)

How could you, Kennedy?

Favourite Girl? Definitel Grace. What a GirlBoss. Love her so much <3
