The Deal

Ehm kdo právě strávil místo nutného učení se na maturitu několik hodin čtením?
Rozhodně to není perfektní kniha, kterou bych doporučila každému, ale zrovna teď, dnes, se mi hodila do noty, sedla mi do nálady a já ji okamžitě - OKAMŽITĚ - potřebovala mít přečtenou (resp. jsem ji rozečetla včera večer a četla až do půl jedné do rána a dneska jsem ji potřebovala už jen dočíst).
Sice můžu s jistotou říct, že mě to fakt neskutečně bavilo, ale když o srovnám s činností, kterou jsem měla místo čtení dělat (aka učit se Ludvíky, popravit krále, zavést republiku a pak znovu restaurovat momnarchii...), bavilo by mě asi všechno.
Ale ne, vážně mě to bavilo, bylo hodně osvěžující, že se vztah vyvíjel bez větších obtíží, které většinou tyhle univerzitní vztahy doprovází, jen ta poslední zápletka, kterou mezi sebou hlavní postavy řešily, byla hodně předvídatelná, i když se mi zase líbilo, že s tím jak on i ona naložili po svém a netradičně.
Hodně mě pobavilo, jak moc se snažila autorka ukázat, že to nejsou blbci, kteří myslí jen na sex, hokej a zpěv - ale že umí i přemýšlet o nacizmu. Na jednu stranu to bylo úsměvné, na druhou stranu mi vážně přišlo (znovu to slovo) osvěžující, že postavy řešili doopravdy něco jiného než sex, hobby mužské a hobby ženské protagonistky.
A tahle recenze je tak dlouhá jen proto, že se místo ní mám učit ty Ludviky.
Long story short: užila jsem si to. Až budu mít náladu, sáhnu po dalších dílech (teď by ta nálada byla, ale fakt se potřebuju učit a ne binge-read celou sérii... škoda no).

Tengo que admitir que leí este libro porque va a salir la adaptación en serie y me dió fomo. Realmente estuvo nice. Es un buen libro para pasar el rato, pero no es algo del otro mundo, me recordó mucho a el libro de "Icebreaker". Sí me gustó la dinámica de los personajes, fue muy graciosa y me encanta como estaban "bickering" todo el tiempo. Garrett es muy funny, me encanta lo terco que es y como nunca se rinde el chamaco cuando es algo que tiene que ver con Hannah. Eso si, se nota que es un hombre, especialmente en los primeros capítulos. Me leí el libro bastante rápido y fue sencillo de procesar. El papá de Garrett es un cabrón. Hay varias escenas que son sorpendentemente profundas. Estuvo muy linda la confianza y el "bond" que crearon los protagonistas. Me gustó y me dió mucha risa la manera en la que se "resolvió" el "third act break up", lit el Garrett le dijo en la cara a la pobre Hannah que fue una boba jajajaja. 

Psd. Dean dejó tremenda impresión en este libro memeo, so me da mucha curiosidad como ese personaje va a terminar en una relación, pq la real es medio putito jajaja.

Hannah Wells has finally found someone who turns her on.

Off-Campus, Book #1

garret graham: my dream date… cute

anyway who’s ready for the series adaptation (it may flop but i will still be sat)

okay, so this book literally had me kicking my feet and rolling around in bed, giggling like a total weirdo. it genuinely brought back that ‘kilig’ feeling i got when i read better than the movies. the witty bickering, the banter, and all the teasing made it such a fun and easy read— it's written so light.

HOWEVER, and this is a big however for me, i did hit some points that gave me the ick. there were quite a few problematic takes from the male characters that really stood out. the way the author seemed to use abuse as a joke, portraying these guys as straight up ASSHOLES, and then the fact that this abuse and misogyny felt romanticized? that’s what stopped this from being a five-star read for me, no doubt.

overall, if it weren't for that problematic stuff, i really enjoyed the romantic and funny scenes. it’s a shame because those parts were so good.

Just another cute romance novel. Easy to get through.

Cute little book. I really thought we were going to get a romance novel without a miscommunication trope but Ellie Kennedy ruined a good thing but Addison one in, in the last 100 pages. Honestly about 150 pages of this novel were not needed. I feel like all the good parts were in the middle buried by random information that didn’t need to be there. Also most conflict was resolved too quickly.

Baby I could watch you watch paint dry and not get bored…

Roisin Ramdhayan 

Was a fun real life college romance. Little bit of a slow start but ended happy. There were some sad parts but it just made the book seem more real.

Sierra Bennett

I enjoyed this one. An easy read. The story of college student romance with some a bit of drama but oddly not so much between Hannah and Garrett.  They have a solid relationship which was nice to read. They help each other overcome adversity. 

Jeannie Gallagher

I don't really have too many thoughts about this one😭 a good palate cleanser between my other reads 

Paige Leitner

The first book in an all new series featuring college hockey stars and the women they fall for, by New York Times bestseller Elle Kennedy.

Jennifer Gosnell

Spicy. I liked the characters a lot. They felt like real people with real personalities. Lots of chemistry and tension — loved it! Will definitely be reading the rest of the series!

Layla Castle

Denise

Such a cute sports romance, really easy to read and a refreshing book overall.

4/5 stars

The book is great! it's very funny and really took me by surprise. Although, I'm not really convince to read the whole series but overall great writing and plot. The cover though :/ I wish they reprint this.

clau☁️

2.5
i mean… this book is fun to read but ONLY if you can get past the problematic bits because, let’s be honest, there were many.
on top of that the writing was BAD. but at least i still had fun because there were some good things. 
do i regret reading it? honestly no
am i glad it is over? definitely

Unfortunately, I had bring it down to 2.5 ⭐️. The only thing I’ll allow here is that the sex was back-breaking good. This book gave the ever so cliché the not-so-popular girl tutoring the badboy athlete trope. But I still gave it a chance and allowed myself to enjoy it. But it was definitely as platitude as I thought it would be. Hannah’s literally a “pick me”. She has this pre-conceived notion that women who sleep with male athletes are basically sluts and don’t know any better. I kept waiting for her to grow out of that bullshit mindset, because there’s literally no excuse for her to be so misogynistic. And I’ll just add how the narration was refreshing and quick to go through, but was terribly ruined by the extreme repetitiveness and cringey-ness of the dialogue. Oh, and the plot was also plenty predictable, which annoyed the fuck out of me. Sure, Garrett and Hannah have amazing, feel-good, and funny chemistry, but there were the many times I questioned “Who the fuck talks like that? Or even does that?”

Hanna Rybchynska

Sem dúvida que é um livro privisível: ele é desportista e precisa de boa média, ela é marrona e dá-lhe explicações. Pois... foi o que eu pensei, mas não consegui parar de ler!

Jay Becerra

If I’m being honest, yes, I did read this book in one day. Not because I couldn’t put it down. Truthfully, I just had nothing else to do and it was such an easy read.

Overall, this book was good. It wasn’t god awful nor was it breathtakingly incredible. It was simply good. 

It had easy going, likable characters, a cliche trope that I loved, steamy sex scenes, some family drama and trauma for emotional heartbreaking bits. I did wish the romance was just a little bit more slow burn angst but that’s just a personal preference.

This book is a guilty pleasure romance read and if you’re anything like me, you’ll love it but probably never read it again.

Selin Igten

loved reading this but i’ll have to 1 star because the author is a ZIONIST and supports isra*l !
