The Graham Effect

Un sólido 4 sinceramente, complacida con el hecho de hubiera una de mis cosas favoritas, las cuales Elle Kennedy parece evitar en todo momento.

2.5⭐️

I wasn't sure if this was going to live up to the first series for me but I'm happy to report that it did!!

I loved the relationship between Gigi and Ryder, as well as the drama and tension with other elements of the story.

Moving onto The Dixon Rule very soon!

This book wasn't exceptional or shocking but it was fun and that's what I was expecting.
I always turn to the Briar U universe when I need a good light read.

It was a little lengthy but I didn't mind. I'm pretty sure I've said this before but Elle Kennedy definitely knows how to wrap up a story with a satisfying ending and that's part of why I love reading these books so much

Elle Kennedy does it again.

Before reading this book I 100% recomend looking up the trigger warnings as this book does have a bit of triggering content.

The deal is one of my all time faves and I picked this book up not knowing this was a second gen book that follows hannah and Garrett's daughter.

Also the female sports representation is incredible and needed, I have never read a book where the FMC is the hockey player, this book also covers how unfair womens hockey is multipul times and brings up an important conversation.

The only issue I have with this book is how quick the end was. The first half of the book dragged on but the last 100 pages felt rushed. especially the marriage plot

Hannah and Garret feel like grown up version of them selvs which is nice because in some second gen books the parents feel either 1 - as if they haven't aged and are still collage aged or 2 - like compleatly new charecters

The best example I can think of is that Garrent still calls hannah wellsy or how he is so protective over their kids.

Okay thats it now i know FOR SURE that I will like/love anything Elle Kennedy writes!
OMG I just love being a part of this world and these characters. I cant wait to continue with the rest of the seriess.
Ps. if i had 3 wishes i would want to read my fav books all over again(off campus is included DUH)

Mediocre but enjoyable. It was cute, and fun to see past briar U and off-campus characters. It felt nostalgic almost.

Ryder is a sweet guy under his indifferent exterior.

Gigi is a genuine and sweet girl. She deserves the best

would've easily been a 4 star had it not been for that ending

I do want to add that i appreciate the third act conflict was not a break up. I think it's all you see in romance books and the fact so many authors are going in different directions is refreshing
