“My goal, once upon a time, was to succeed. I didn’t realize that success wasn’t grades or scholarships or achievements, but the people I was lucky enough to have in my life.”
When the ending of The Score ended with Tuck saying "I'm going to be a dad.", I was immediately put off. Unexpected pregnancy was a trope I don't venture to. But when my cousin said that the story is also a good one, I said, ok why not just try it out. I did finish it in two days though. But that's always because it's on audiobook and for some reason, I breeze thru all the Off-Campus books easily. This might not be my favorite but I must say that if you already started the series, just do yourself a favor and read thru this one as well. I could have missed out a lot if I didn't read this because it finally answered the questions on what Tuck was about during the previous book. Sure, Sabrina isn't my favorite FMC but she is goal-oriented and driven. She really want to achieve her goal (okay now it makes sense why the title is such). No baby or parenting would come between her and her goal of being a top-notch lawyer, for sure.
Tuck and Sabrina's love story ain't like the normal ones I've come across because they literally had a bump in between (a baby bump). I can see why Sabrina is hesitant to force Tuck into fatherhood but knowing and actually being inside Tuck's mind, he would do anything for her and their baby. Sabrina is one lucky girl to have gotten to have a "one-night stand" with Tuck because they are meant for each other. Tuck knew it but Sabrina needed a little more push to actually see it. By the end of the book, you really can't help but cheer for Sabrina to have the best life because after all her family's history, she needed one. Hopefully as well that Tuck's mom comes around.
Plus points for all the interaction with the former FMC and MMC! This is why I love reading a book series. It all ties together perfectly.
