 I didn't love it as much as the first two books, but I still loved it.

Elle Kennedy went deeper into both the personal lives and complications of the relationship between Charlie, Will, and Beckett.

I love how she showed a lot more complex backstories in this book as well as how everyone is basically an onion and that there is more than what meets the eyes.

Slight spoiler: I thought it was gonna end differently. I got really nervous.

What I wished she'd had more of: Charlie's other hobbies, a little revenge on the meannies in the book.

I also just want to say that when I got to the last page I couldn't help but feel like we need more Campus Diaries. There are so many more stories to tell!!!!

This book made me cry.

As a former athlete, I can relate to the pain of leaving and making that choice. It's nice to see a book that talks about the fear of what comes after or who you become when you leave the game.

I loved the relationship between Alec and Evie and how much they supported each other.

I loved how Alec's sister supported their relationship rather than causing drama. In all honesty, I think this book is quite realistic and captures the true emotions of what was happening in the story.

Got this book over at Netgalley and I'm glad I was chosen for this read.

Loved the book, wish there was a deeper romance to it, that was the only part that felt a little lacking to me.
