The insane amount of random drama I’m this book was just not it. Elle Kennedy is good because her books have the right amount of crazy but this was a whole other level.

For the first 75% of this book I was sure it was going to be at least a 4 star read. It was such a fun read for the majority of the book but it totally fell apart in the end for me. It just didn’t track with the characters that were developed in the first portion of the book? I would definitely recommend reading it, it’s a perfect beach read. I just can’t go more than 3 stars because the ending felt strange and not thought through.

Okay so I literally JUST finished the book and now I'm gonna try to best formulate my thoughts on it. There's a lot that went down so I'm just gonna list likes and dislikes as I've noticed others have done.

Likes:
-The beginning of the book made me super into it already. I felt like there were already sparks between them when they first met (bc they were both irritated eo yeah LOL). I also felt butterflies from their little interactions a few years after that /prologue/ shortly after he comes to her school.
-Gigi is a strong FMC with a good head on her shoulders. She has her own goals set and she also has respect for herself and doesn't give in no matter how many times her ex insinuates they shld get back tgt and even when she still had feelings for him cuz he did her wrong! She's also confident in herself:)
-I liked the backstory Elle gave Ryder. I felt like it really gave him depth as a character and made me as a reader understand him a lot more. It was a well thought out backstory with his family. I also really didn't see the part with

owen ending up being his brother coming

but I'm not mad abt it!! Ngl I really didn't anticipate all of that.
-I really love the cameos from the other characters of the off campus series & their children:)

Spoiler

Jake and Garrett's hockey commentary segments were great additions to the book! Hannah and Garrett's relationship w their children were also heartwarming... and Hannah's relationship with Ryder

It dragged. The whole marriage thing was very out of the blue and not my fave.
The spice was good to start but then it just got to be too much. Too long of a book for the storyline.
