  • I am not usually one to read Goodreads ratings before making my own, but reading some of the reviews, my exact thoughts felt validated. I was feeling good about the beginning. The grumpy x sunshine trope had me hooked. Being called an a**hole by one of your patient’s owners is a funny “meet-cute” for a…

  • Love Song (Elle Kennedy)

    When I found out there was a standalone story about the kids of the OG Off-Campus series, I had to get it! And the cover art is stunning, I love the pink-painted edges and music notes, so so cute! Regarding the story itself, I was hopeful. It was nice to see the family ties of…

  • Offside (Avery Keelan)

    I want to give this one a 4.5 and Goodreads doesn’t do half-stars yet, but I can here! Offside, a college hockey romance, follows the relationship between Bailey James, journalism major and avid hockey fan, and Chase Carter, troublemaker, and stubborn rival to her brother’s hockey team. A forbidden romance, ha! After being broken up…

  • I’m really wondering now if I need to switch up my tropes, dare I say I like friends-to-lovers more than enemies-to-lovers?! Maybe? I don’t know! Pham’s debut was BEAUTIFUL. Her story follows two childhood best friends who begin dating in high school for a short time before breaking up after an accident, not speaking one…

  • I was so excited to read this book and see how the lives of our favorite couples changed after college at Briar University. But Kennedy did them so dirty, the characters were written so differently from how we knew them in their standalone stories and I felt so disconnected, like I didn’t know them at…

  • The Goal (Elle Kennedy)

    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…
