This book was kinda boring the first 40% but then it got good and I really enjoyed it. I loved the off campus series so I am super excited for a spinoff series. I hope we get an epilogue of these couples. I would love to see Gigi and Ryder in the future.

This book didn’t live up to my expectations but I did like Ryders character development throughout the book. 

3.5 stars rounded up to 4 stars.

I really enjoyed following Nova and Charlie on their journey to love. I loved Nova and the fact that she was a female tattoo artist. Both characters were great and I love the found family troupe in this book. 

Read this book if you enjoy:
* small town romance

* casual hookup
* golden retriever MMC
* friends to lovers

This book is a heartbreakingly beautiful story that I couldn't put down, especially the last 50% of the book. Reading this book felt like I was on an emotional roller coaster. I smiled, cried, had butterflies, loudly gasped... you name it and I probably felt it. There were so many layers to this story, so much depth, and it was so detailed. I could picture everything in my mind because it was so detailed, which also helped me feel so connected with the story since it felt so real.

Jennifer Hartmann is a master at writing amazing characters that have so much depth and development. Ella and Max both have trauma and are working through the healing process. Even though I may not be able to relate to their trauma, Ella and Max were relatable and I could feel their emotions through the pages. I feel like I always take away a message from her books and they stick with me long after reading. This book is no different.

This book is a must read, but please check trigger warnings. Don't let the YA genre detour you from reading this book. This book will live rent free in my head for awhile.

I loved the troupes in this book. If you enjoy a billionaire romance, enemies to lovers, small town romance, banter and spice then you will enjoy this book. I loved Pippa and Camden and their love story. I don't usually love a grumpy MMC but their banter and the character development was wonderful. We got to see different layers to Camden and I loved him! I listened to this on audiobook and CJ Bloom and Aaron Shedlock did a great job bringing these characters to life.

I absolutely LOVED this audiobook! Narrators are fantastic and bring the characters and story to life! They had me laughing and smiling the entire way through this book! Gus is perfection and so swoon worthy! His relationship with Olive was so genuine and sweet! He was so patient and loving with Susannah. I love the single mother troupe! This audio is a must listen!

4.5 out of 5 stars. 

I liked this book way more than I expected to. Ada and Wes are made for each other. Wes was so swoony and understood what Ada needed in a partner. Ada was so relatable and Fiund her perfect match in Wes. I love the mental health representation in this series. 

Teddy Hamilton and Vanessa Edwin did such a great job voicing these characters. They captured the personality, vulnerability, and chemistry of the characters. I highly recommend this audio!

I’m so glad I finally read/listened to this book. I’m discovering  a micro troupe I love is when one character has anxiety or is having a panic attack and the other character is patient and the helps him or her through it. 

I liked the characters and side characters and I was rooting for them. I’m excited to continue reading this series. 

The narration is done in dual POV. I enjoyed this audiobook and would recommend it.

This was my first Kasey Stockton book and now I need more. It was a perfect summer read with great characters. I love that Cat was down to earth, bubbly, and enjoyed helping others. Noah was generous, sweet, and swoony. I really related to Noah and loved the anxiety representation in this book. It was done well and and with great care to Noah's character. Cat was a wonderful partner to Noah and knew just how to ease his anxiety.

The narration in this book was amazing! It was told in duet narration and I was so engaged and hooked into this story. Rylee Kuberra and John Rodgers nailed these characters and really brought them and their story to life. 5/5 stars for narration!
