The Goal (Elle Kennedy)

Rating: 3 out of 5.

It was a good book, but it frustrated me so much! I didn’t like that I already knew what to expect of the entire plot of Book 4 from the ending of Book 3.

SPOILER: I would have liked a surprise pregnancy if it were an actual surprise. It bummed me out.

There wasn’t much that surprised me this book, unfortunately. Well, I was surprised by how gross Ray, the stepfather, was to Sabrina. That took me by surprise, I was so uneasy reading about that entire living situation. Thank goodness for Tucker being there to take Sabrina away from that terrible home. I couldn’t stand reading any more of it.

I was also so angry at Sabrina for so much of the book, not opening up to Tucker about her true feelings, I really could not understand how she didn’t think he loved her, with all that he did for her. Even her friends, who were barely around Tucker, clocked it before Sabrina did. I know she had a tough upbringing but does that make you completely blind to love? If she didn’t believe in love and Tucker was doing all of these new things, how did she not know? It would’ve been new to her, yeah? It took so so long for her to come to her senses – I kid you not, the last 10 pages of the book, and that’s including the epilogue. It was torture, it didn’t feel like good yearning. I truly felt bad for Tucker, he was being strung a long for so much of the book. He deserved more happiness and peace of mind than he got!

I love Tucker, he’s a great guy, Sabrina’s hardworking and alright, but I didn’t love her “complex” character all too much. I felt disconnected from her. But I did love the warmth she started showing Tucker and only Tucker.

I feel bad writing this review, I didn’t love the book and it makes me so sad because I like this series!
