I can’t get over how much I love this series!!! I barely slept ALL weekend so I could read it! It’s absolutely incredible!! Tuck & Sabrina man! Yet again, Tuck is another dream man, especially with his southern accent! 😘 & headstrong Sabrina, I loved everything about her! & reading about all the past couples as aunts & uncles! I just love it!! I love everything about this book! & I can’t wait to start the Legacy & see where all the couples are in the future!! 🥰

As devastated as I am to bring the Off-Campus series to a close, my heart is warmed by the way we finished. Sabrina and Tucker are such gentle souls, and they truly deserve every happiness. I only wish they’d gotten it sooner!

As always, Elle Kennedy touches on heart-wrenching topics while still maintaining the utter joy of a good romance. I don’t know how she does it, but I’m so glad she does. To The Legacy!

per my spreadsheet

i’m so frustrated.

the miscommunication in the book almost had me throwing it across the room and I feel barely satisfied with the outcome.

spice 🌶  - a 4 🌶  spicy (romance.io scale)

length - just right

reading speed - read in 3 days

did it make me cry? - yes. yes it did.

I love John Tucker. 
The only and I mean only thing I disliked about this book was the 'miscommunication' I mean it wasn't really 'miscommunication' but I don't know what else to call it, but I really can't stand it when people just don't outright say what they feel and I know in this book it was to do with past trauma but still for the love of god just talk to each other, you know?

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.
