What was your overall opinion of the book?
This is my 3rd read of this particular Off Campus book and dare I say my favourite? I love Garrett and Hannah’s banter, I love that there’s some heavy undertones that are handled well, I just love IT.
-
What was your favourite moment/scene in the book?
I think the scene where they open up to each other about their past trauma is really important, not just in general but for the storyline too and their developing romance.
-
Which character did you like best/most identify with?
Hannah and her totally unfounded crush on Justin always resonates with me. Even SHE doesn’t know why she’s so into the dude at the start of the book, and I get that because I’ve always been the same…
-
Did any themes or messages in the book change your perspective on anything?
Not particularly.
-
How did the author’s writing style impact your reading experience?
Elle Kennedy writes in a way that is funny and always an easy read!
-
Was this book relatable to you in any way?
As mentioned above, I find Hannah’s crushes relatable!
-
What is the one thing about this book you will remember, even a year from now?
The fact that Garrett Graham is anti One Direction. I’m still not over it, it’s his only red flag.
-
If this book was made into a movie, who would you cast?
I think it goes without saying that the guys cast in the adaptation coming out today are perfect.
-
How likely would you be to recommend the book to someone else? (use a sliding scale of 1-5 if easier)
Always recommend - 5
