  • I don’t think I have felt emotionally gutted by a book before this book, honestly. Well, that’s a lie, it felt just as heart wrenching as If He Had Been With Me by Laura Nowlin, but in a different way. Not a depressing or tragic sort of emotional gutting, but just a tug at the…

  • 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…

  • While Better Than the Movies by Painter has been one of my all-time-favorite reads, Betting on You was alright. It was cute, but not as engaging. Though I do have the experience of being a child of divorce, much like main characters, Bailey and Charlie, and seeing how fast and how much family dynamics can…

  • My, oh my, that was a SPICY book. My friend, as she handed me this book for my birthday, said, “This is the spiciest book I have ever read.” And I know it was going to be spicy, considering her past reads. If she thought it was spicy, even for her, I was in for…

  • Spiral (Bal Khabra)

    Fake-dating, rich hockey player who wants out of the spotlight, but poor ballet dancer who needs the spotlight to land her dream role?! This was a FANTASTIC read, I could not put the book down, despite my tired eyes. Khabra does a phenomenal job of introducing our characters, Sage and Elias, without overdoing it. I…

  • 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…

  • I posted about The Deal (Off-Campus Book #1) this morning, I know, and I read The Mistake (Book 2) today, so what? No, in all seriousness, I wish I could give more stars, this one was EVEN greater than the first book. I really appreciated the meet-cute, I was kicking my feet how Logan ended…
