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!! 🥰

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.

“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.

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
