***Five CRYING MY EYES OUT Stars***
Holy Crap!!! When I hit 70% and it was all nice and roses I just could not wrap my head around the book not being over. Like WHAT ELSE could be happening?! OMG I was NOT ready for what happened next!
Author Note: Learning Curve is a New Adult Romance standalone that is book one in the Dickson University Series. This highly-addictive series will follow the grown-up Billionaire Bad Boy kids and long-lost Winslow siblings as they navigate college life and relationships. Buckle up for all the college drama, romance, spice, angst, and humor. You do not need to have read the Billionaire Bad Boys Series or Winslow Brothers Collection to read Learning Curve. It is a complete standalone.
I mean, it's true but I'm definitely going back to catch up on everyone because I LOVE THEM already.
Finn and Scottie are EVERYTHING! These two have been THROUGH it and more. Alcoholic parents, his dad and her mom, have set them up for some CRAP! Finn heads to Dickson with one mission, to ruin his brother. A brother who doesn't even know he exists. It's all he can think about and it's all that matters. Scottie is a competitive cheerleader with an asshole boyfriend, who she quickly disposes of THANK GOD! Too bad he's a real big POS who then goes on to make Scottie's life miserable.
HUGE Thank you to NetGalley and Max Monroe LLC for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I am very torn on how to rate this book. It started out good. I was interested in Finn and the reason he was attending Dickson University. I liked Scottie and her drama with her narcissist boyfriend, Dane. But then...there is way too many pages that are filler and so unnecessary to Finn and Scottie's story. This book did not need to be over 450 pages!
Plus, there is drama after drama that felt more like high school than college. I did enjoy Finn's roommate, Ace, though. Quite the character. But, the ending....definitely not what you would call a happy ever after.
I read and listened to the audiobook. It is duet narration by Stephanie Rose and Alexander Cendese. The female narrator is really good, but I thought the male narrator was too happy and upbeat for Finn's brooding character.

Sooo dramatic! Everything was exaggerated. The romance was lacking, no depthness, just a push-pull relationship. I loved the mention of One Tree Hill, but the ending was not well placed. They could have added that in the middle of the both and worked through the aftermath of what occurred. Not my favorite.

This is me first ever read from this author.
And it was just soooo GOOD.
Finn and Scottie were made for each other.
Specially how the met, had me wanting more of them.
Finn was just EVERYTHING. But he had me swooning on just how much he cared about his family and new family. But most importantly SCOTTIE!! That boy, was smitten since the first day. I couldn’t stop reading. Their friend group was also just soo special. I loved everything about this book.
The characters, the storyline, EVERYTHING.
