My husband and I have been reading the Off Campus series and agree that we see ourselves in Allie and Dean.

Winston was perfect.

I did not cry in this one but definitely felt feels and laughed. It was a great read.

While I do not enjoy the “fuck boy” trait in characters, I did like Dean near the end of the book. He really went through progression, and I liked the relationship between him and Allie. They understand each other on a deeper level others can’t. I was shocked and taken by surprise by Beau, as was every character but realistically, it can happen and the way it cause a tidal wave of after affects to everyone involved in different ways was interesting to read.
