nice quick read and a good way to say “goodbye” to the off balance series! i liked the extras but i found that some of the really short deleted scenes didn’t need to be included. this also helped fill in some of the plot gaps that didn’t quite make sense. after reading this though, i feel like the original story could’ve been elaborated on a tiny bit more to fill in those plot points, without a whole bit of extra fluff. 

still big sad that we don’t get to hear about holly hayden and regan. i know they’re side characters, but they felt a little more main-charactery to me than madeline or others.

I’ve been so excited for more Kova and Ria, I’m so happy Lucia gave us “Out of bounds”… was it enough… no because my selfish ass never wanted to say goodbye to them

It took me so long to finish this solely because I wasn’t ready to let go of Ria & Kova just yet. I loved this book for exactly what it was. If you aren’t a super fan (& I didn’t feel like I was even though I ended up loving the story) you should still pick this up! It was so fun to be back in Ria’s head with the deleted scenes, to get the additional scenes from dismount in Kova’s POV & the interview was soooo fun! I decided not to read the excerpt from Avery’s book bc it comes out next month so I’m just going to wait it out! Loved everything about this.

“She is my exception.”

This book was everything I wanted from Kova & Ria. It was a way to dip back into their world and savor their love story just a little bit more. It contains deleted scenes, a Kova interview, a sneak peak of Avery & Xavier’s story and some heart from Lucia.

I missed these two so much and reading all these scenes immediately brought me back to them. It is a perfect compliment to the series - which was and still is one of my top reads.

If you love all things Off Balance this book is an absolute must read. It isn’t a standalone and you should read the series first.

Lucia, you have created a world that I forever want to escape to. Thank you for bringing these two back to us readers just one more time. I am a forever lover of The Kournakovas!

“We took a risk on a love that was
against the odds before it started, and
we were stubborn enough to win.”
