The Charlie Method by Elle Kennedy

5.0

I’ve only read a few books by Elle Kennedy in the past but I really enjoyed them and thought that this one sounded so different to all the others that I just had to read it!
I wasn’t disappointed at all, flew through it in less that 2 days and was absolutely hooked by the fact that the fmc ended up with BOTH GUYS!!!

I seriously loved the different dynamics between all of the characters and how they didn’t play into their stereotypes at all either.
Did I get the two hockey players confused at the beginning of the book? Yes all the time but that’s just when they were coming off as dumb jock bros

Charlie was such an interesting character, and it’s been such a long time since I felt like I read about such a well rounded and deep character in a romance book. She isn’t just a statistic for adoptions, a high achieving STEM student or sorority girl. There was so much that was slowly revealed about her character that by the end of the book it really felt like I knew every thing about her and actually KNEW her.
The amount of times that she had me nearly crying was insane too. She goes through a million and one problems so buckle up for that ride

I was also SO FREAKING INTO how close both mmc’s are! Beckett and Will have my whole heart, and I especially loved the fact that it was established right at the start of the book that they were into, and frequently did share with each other (if ya know what I mean) it just meant that there was no confusion or awkward moments BECAUSE THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WANTED RIGHT FROM THE START OK

I think that this wasn’t just 100% a romance book either, yes everyone gets their happy ending, there’s lots of romance and intimate moments, but there is just so much more that happens throughout the book to each of the characters.
There were so many moments where Charlie is coming to terms with who she Is and who she wants to be, Beckett is trying to get over/run away from his past, and Will is trying to get away from the shadow of his family.

It was phenomenally well played out.

I honestly don’t think I will know peace until I can reread this and get my hands on a physical copy of the book, and obviously reread it.
This is also without a doubt my favourite book from the author because it just felt so much more real and believable for some reason??? Obviously having two boyfriends isn’t overly believable, but I think it was how much depth the characters had that made it feel like they were actually real people instead of characters?
