Best of Luck by Kate Clayborn
3.0
The best of the three, or at least, the one I liked best. Kudos to a male character not only going to therapy but having it shown on the page--we need more of that.
Greer's issues were something I was not familiar with, and without doing research into it, I don't know if it was portrayed accurately or not, but I did feel the representation was a touch overdramatic. Setting that aside, though, Greer always seemed to do her best to support Alex's needs, and vice versa, though in Alex's case it was mostly "don't treat Greer like she's made of glass."
While I did like it best of the three, it's still a bit of a stretched premise--did Greer's school really need to be such jerks about the mix-up? Where was any sort of advisor to catch it before it was a last-minute crisis? etc. etc.--and sometimes the fun of a romance is the wacky or unusual premise, but this seemed almost as fake and ridiculous as the second book. It's a good book, not a great one, and I liked it, but I certainly didn't love it.
