This book was cute, but probably unnecessary. Also, through reading the series I always felt like Tucker was wholly disconnected from the rest of the boys despite being “best friends” and this book totally confirmed it. I was hoping for some better friendship moments, but this man was barely a character at his own wedding.

It was so nice to see what happened to the OG four couples but I am deeply upset because I wanted more. I want more. Please elle Kennedy I want more.

I enjoyed this read but it was definitely lacking a few things that made the characters so amazing. I feel the book definitely fell short more than once and I definitely feel that some of these characters deserved more. Nonetheless I enjoyed seeing the characters after the events of the previous 4 books I just wish it had a little more…

Go Elle Kennedy give us NOTHING
like absolutely nothing
zero crumbs 

Elle Kennedy had the chance to give us a fluffy/happy novella for each couple, but what did she do? Give us totally mediocre novellas with stupid conflicts that didn't add anything to the story. What was the reason for that stupid argument between Hannah and Garrett, especially taking into consideration their situation? LIKE WHAT WAS THE REASON (The Garrett from the Deal would punch this Garrett in a heartbeat)

Dean and Allie's novella could've had literally anything else happening but the proposal plot. It was so weak and it didn't make any sense. 

Logan and Grace's was LITERALLY copied/pasted from the Christmas novella? Where's the creativity? Why not give us something different?! 

Sabrina and Tucker's was a mess, they were supposed to be enjoying their honeymoon but instead, they had to have this ridiculous plot of the haunted doll, which by the way what was that about? I didn't like that at all. 

Overall this book is utterly trash, completely wasted potential for such a successful series. 
As far as it goes this book doesn't exist to me.

Full coherent thoughts will be available in 3-5 business days.

For now let me just say how much I love these characters and this universe. EK could literally write a full length novel where these characters do nothing but stare at each other the whole time and I would still love it. There are no words to describe the joy I felt reentering my favorite book series of all time.

I loved getting a glimpse into each characters lives post college. BUT I will say I feel like we deserved a little more. This is (as far as we know) the last we'll ever see these characters, so I was hoping we would have more closure for each of their stories. And while we got closure in a small way, I was left feeling like something was missing.

HOWEVER, all that said, this series will always be my favorite and I am forever thankful to have another book to add to the collection of comfort reads. I devoured this book in less than a day, cried multiple times, and felt my heart burst with every flip of the page.

Some more spoiler-y thoughts below: 
(view spoiler)[
I'm upset we didn't get a Hannah/Garrett wedding. They are the OG couple and forever my favorites and I felt like out of all the couples we deserved to see them get married. I still loved their story, and it was definitely my favorite of the bunch, but wish we could have seen that.

I didn't like Tucker/Sabrina's story but then again their book has always been my least favorite so I wasn't really surprised. I felt like all the bad luck things were just unnecessary drama. Also, as a current law student set to graduate this year, the stuff about Sabrina graduating from law school with these two job offers was just so entirely unrealistic it took me out of the story. It never even mentioned if she passed the Bar! I realize this is super nitpicky but like... you can't practice law if you don't pass the bar exam and it never even mentioned her studying for the test.

What a great way to end the off campus series. 

I was honestly just so happy and excited to jump back into my favourite characters. 

I absolutely loved Allie and Deans section. Dean is still my all time book boyfriend.

Wasn’t perfect but it was enjoyable.

I guess it’s time to re-read the briar u series now. And maybe off campus… again.

i like how we know where everyone is in their adult lives.

i laughed a few times but overall I'm disappointed. I actually teared up from disappointment and then I got a headache.

(view spoiler)[First of all, Tucker was the most non-problematic guy in the series. He was so patient, level-headed, and honest in the Goal. He was described as calm so many times. So, Tucker would've never behaved the way he did in the Legacy. He would've never lost his cool and yelled at Sabrina then literally left her at the beach on their own honeymoon especially with Sabrina's past w/ abandonment!! are you kidding like no! he would never! When Sabrina said "It’s at least the prettiest place I’ve ever been abandoned" after Tucker left, I just teared up. LIKE WHO TF IS THIS Sabrina also ended up taking the blame and said "she'll do better" NO she didn't do anything wrong! Tucker didn't communicate with her at all! How can she know!! Sabrina said to Tucker "Being passive-aggressive doesn’t feel supportive.” PERIOD like The Goal Tucker would've punched The Legacy Tucker for the way his behavior #notmyTucker

Garrett in this book was NO. His chapters just felt hostile and angry. I understand he had to deal with his dad but like I just skimmed his chapters. After he said "Hannah always says I shouldn’t be ashamed of it, that it wasn’t my fault, I couldn’t have stopped it, blah fucking blah. I love that woman to death, but chicks have a bad habit of turning everything into therapy speak." I was done like who wtf are you?? what happened to "I could watch her watching paint dry, and I still wouldn't be bored" the vibes were sooo off

Also, how can Garrett not notice that something was up with Hannah for like two months and how was Hannah able to keep a big secret from Garrett like isn't she suppose to be a bad liar. The whole part with Garrett yelling at an already distressed Hannah and comparing her to his abusive dad!! like WTF! THIS ISN'T GARRETT Does the author even know her own characters. 

Allie and Dean .. their conflict was miscommunication even though Allie kept telling Dean why she didn't want to get engaged bc she wasn't ready. but she ended up doing what she kept saying she didn't want to do. what happened to the Dean that wanted to make Allie happy. Even though Allie understood Dean's point of view, I didn't like that she had to take a step that she kept communicating that she did not want to take, just to keep the "perfect" guy. The book kept saying Dean's impulsive so if Allie continues to pacify Dean by giving him what he wants, Dean is gonna keep going to the next steps which Allie is scared of. won't there be resentment in the future if they keep continuing this cycle of giving when you don't want to give idkk 

There were basically two weddings and we didn't get to hear ANY VOWS. Hannah and Garrett's proposal was a verbal agreement. "why does a proposal need to involve a whole damn speech" WDYM They are literally the leading couple HANNAH DESERVES A WHOLE DAMN SPEECH. The Deal Garrett would've given her a whole damn speech. Garrett was just judging Dean on his proposal speeches in the beginning. 

Why did the author put more thought into the freaking Alexander doll subplot than her own characters IM DONE

anyways, I thought this could've been better. Grace and Logan were cute tho .. would've been nice to hear their vows. It would've been nice to see an ending with the core group together (and not beefing bc of a stupid doll) or maybe a timeskip idk like an actual epilogue  (hide spoiler)]

I loved getting back to the couples we all know and love and reading about what their lives have become a few years after graduating Briar. 

We still got the expected smut from Elle Kennedy in this one, but the stories were way more about their lives, than just how good their chemistry in bed is, and I loved that about this one!

What a way to end the series! I’m glad they kept hannah and garrett’s chapter until the end bc they are the one’s who started it all! Love seeing all the characters get a happy ending wrapped up in a red bow. The storyline about alexander throughout this book had me in the fits of laughter. Loved this book!

Sympa de les voir adultes, se construire une famille, et dans la vie active !
Mais un tome qui sert de conclusion à la série off campus assez vide

El libro en general fue muy meh, o sea tiene sus partes lindas pero siento que no aporta mucho, fue bonito leer un poco más de ellos pero tampoco es algo del otro mundo pudo haberlo dejado así y ya.

La única parte que disfrute un poco fue la luna de miel de Sabrina y Tucker, ahí si me reí mucho porque que mala suerte tuvieron la mayor parte del tiempo jajaja

En cuanto a Hannah y Garret siento que lo exageraron un poco, los dos estuvieron mal y punto. Garret admitió su error y se disculpó, también debo admitir que me pongo un poco en su lugar y entiendo su reacción.

It wasn't great but it was nice seeing them again and God I forgot how much I missed reading about them together 😭

I’m not exaggerating when I’m telling you that my eyes are stinging as I type up this review. This is the end of my journey in the Off-Campus universe, and I’m not ready to say goodbye to these amazing characters. 

I didn’t know exactly what to expect from 

 apart from the fact that I would likely enjoy it since I knew they were short stories for each couple. What I loved about them is that though each story concentrates on a couple, they’re all connected, and one way or another the characters feature in all the stories. This is my favorite way to read short stories, because they are a part of a whole instead of being single entities stuck in a book because of a shared theme. Needless to say, I had a lot of fun reading them, and they reminded me why I love the Off-Campus couples a smidge more than the Briar U couples. There’s just something about them that is magical. Speaking of Briar U, I do confirm that there are several cameos you’ll enjoy a lot more if you read The Legacy after the Brair U series.

These books have made me laugh, swoon, scream. They’ve become my comfort, and I will undoubtedly be returning to them with yearly rereads. I need it for my soul. With that said, I’m going to throw my wish for another spin off into the universe, this time starring the next generation of the Off-Campus couples. Imagine Tuck as a jealous father, or Logan either having a child playing football or falling for a football star. I think I need this in my life.

Logan and Grace were my favorite off-campus couple for some reason! Without a doubt, their story is the best, even with repeated parts, it brought something new to their relationship and there weren't so many unnecessary conflicts. 

Once again, the story of tucker and Sabrina was the most boring. However, I really liked the humor between them and their friendship, without a doubt it was my favorite part. Hannah and Garrett were also one of our favorite moments, despite everything having been very predictable (why?) 

Allie and Dean had so much to give us and even so the author preferred to give drama. This is all part and I get the idea, however I expected more from this book. I enjoyed the series so much that expectations for this book were extremely high.

Okay let me start this by saying i LOVED the off campus series and the briar U series. okay so no one get angry with me!! Also NO SPOILERS 

I EXPECTED MORE FROM THIS ELLE KENNEDY. When she was given the opportunity to tell us "where they are now" i was expecting it to be more in the future maybe?? So i felt as if i was reading of them all in college still, and i barely got anything about their futures from the book other than the fact that Garrett is a huge star now (but we already knew that so like ????) When she hints to us theres going to be a wedding, surprise pregnancy, elopement, and engagement i just wanted MORE and maybe im being greedy but idkkkkkk... Without any spoilers i wanted the whole "pregnancy" trope to be more in depth, not them just finding out and nothing after that like cmonnnn. i wanted to go through the birth and what they named their kid and the whole shabang. ALSO i hated all the beef there was in also every novella like wasn't this supposed to be a happy ending? Why did every single couple get in some type of an argument? Obviously she was trying to show that nothing is perfect even the best relationships but cmon now EK.

On the other side of things i did love the way it started for Logans novella because it did give me quite a scare (ifkyk) I did enjoy the little bit of spice we got from each couple because that does describe how things were when they were back in college. The only disagreement i actually kind of liked was between Dean and Allie. I wasnt expecting that at all because you would think it would be the other way around between them.

All and all i was disappointed and sad because i waited months for this book and i felt as if it was a little rushed on her end. Sorry EK
