Había visto buenas críticas y quería leer algo sencillo, pero no me ha gustado. No me gustan las bases sobre las que construyen su relación y no me los creo, siento que me están intentando vender unos sentimientos que no veo reflejados en el libro.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
I've read better. As always, relationships goes well, until someone screws up big time or a big secret comes out. Nothing ✨amazing✨

Not Elle Kennedy's best work for the sole reason that neither of these characters feel real. the feel like tropes. which is dumb because Elle KNOWS how to write characters and good ones at that! Lest we forget Grace Ivers or Summer Di Lorentez. But Okay, who doesn't love a bad boy fuck-fest that is essentially a watered down and healthier After.
I feel like 3 stars is generous. I hate when relationships are started with a lie… but the grovelling was decent enough.
It was tough to get into this. I had to take a lot of breaks , but here we are.
Characters weren’t anything special.
Cooper was a small town guy with tattoos who has a chip on his shoulder. His parents sucked, but he has a brother and uncle who are there for him. Make it work, ya know?
Mackenzie grew up in wealth, and is whining about being forced to go to college. Like you’re 20… I get you have a business of your own but like take a business course or two to maybe help yourself down the road? What’s the big deal.
Admittedly, there was good character growth near the end. But the ending itself was abrupt AF.

It wasn’t my favorite Elle Kennedy book, but it also wasn’t my least favorite. The writing is good and the story is just ok, but as pointed out a few times in the book the two characters argue over everything. The writing of Cooper with his “when we’re arguing, sometimes I want to throttle her.” Big yikes even if it’s supposed to be a “joke.” (I don’t think it is.)
The two when they’re together are so volatile. It’s an easy read with interesting characters as is, but all I felt that was between Mac & Cooper is the stuff that burns hot and bright but quick, not long and steady like the end paints it out to be.
In short, it’s got passion & decent smut, but the two together are big red flags.

I received a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
I didn’t make it too far into this book before deciding it was not for me. New adult/college-aged characters are hard for me to read anymore, but I make exceptions for authors whose work I've loved in the past. Unfortunately, this one just wasn't it for me. The whole frat boy vs townie and plot to make a fool out of an innocent woman just isn’t my jam.

I love the library because the library allows me to read books like this. I knew what I was getting into and it was exactly what I expected. Was this a good book? No. Was this well written? Not at all. Typically I would say I had fun, but honestly this just fell flat even in the fun category. It was brain rot that I got to enjoy for a Sunday and now I’ll bring it back to the library where I will forget about this book immediately <3
Did I like this book? Sure! Did I have high expectations? Absolutely! We’re they met? No definitely not. I would overall give this book 3.5 stars if that was possible on Goodreads!
After falling so in love with Off Campus and Briar U I had such high hopes that this series would give me the same feeling those 8 books did. It just didn’t have that magic.
The first half of the book I felt like I was dragging through the pages, but as soon as the 50% mark was hit I feel like this book did pick up. I ended up really enjoying the back half a lot more! But if you’re thinking you’re getting another Off Campus definitely manage your expectations!
A lot of people are comparing this to After (I hate those books), and while there is an aspect of this book that seems similar it’s definitely not the same. Also, After did not invent “the bet” trope? Overall I will continue this series as they’re released but I am going to go in with lower expectations next time!
