We kick off another semester at PSU with the entire cast, although dynamics keep shifting among them.
We enter fall semester and I can’t seem to get enough of this group, their mistakes that would seem obvious, but at the same time at that age they just haven’t had the life experiences to know better.

Adam-Cassie-Grayson is a triangle that is super angsty in this book and my inner drama llama is loving and hating every single moment of it.

Jess and Jarrett- the one couple that actually had their stuff together is now facing a rocky relationship and I’m really torn up about that.

Ashlei is in a new internship and a new relationship that is just plain hot!

Bear, Skyler and Erin all have their same continuing stories from the prior books, but Erin continue to struggles with her abuse, stinking further into depression which seems like it could create problems down the line.
Skyler is completely focused on blackjack and is struggling to find a purpose with her life after college, and Bear is still dealing with the fallout of the one meaningful relationship he’s had at school.

The ending to Pledge will stun you and now I can’t wait to dive into Legacy.

I swear it needs to be a prime time drama HBO clearly, but prime time nonetheless

Kandi Steiner has made me want to be a student at PSU. I think my major would be psychology and people watching. I love this crew. Their wins, their losses, their hurts- I feel them all. The secrets, lies, and heartbreak are a personal attack on the reader. Seems like Pledge has some people in need of a Webster's dictionary, there are a few who don't know the meaning.

I need this show turned into an HBO or Netflix show. I figure HBO definitely wouldn't skimp on the hot scenes that get the blood pumping. Can't have PSU without the naughty bits...

Fun, feels, and Legacy ahead of me, I am worried I will get to the end of this series before I'm ready. Hopefully, Kandi Steiner plans on writing them forever!

i had this on my currently reading for a year and a month looool.

this was alright, i really enjoyed the first two books in the series but i think my interest is dwindling a bit. i think that's due in part to something i both love and hate: the episodic nature of these books. conceptually, love the innovation of having episodes and having tons of POVs. it makes these books feel like a tv show. but i also think that prevents each individual book from moving forward in any meaningful way. example: a will- they- won't- they relationship that has persisted for 3 books and still hasn't made much progress.

i think once the series is completed this would be a SUPER fun beach read marathon. it would feel a touch less exhausting imo. but at this point i think i am going to put a pause on my read of this series.

I am completely broken! Kandi has rocked my world yet again with the beautiful characters of PSU - well, most of them. A few pissed me off this season! I've never been so betrayed! 😢😢

Have you ever read a book series that reminds you of your favorite serial dramas on TV or Netflix? Well, pick up PSU and you'll get a taste of how that works!

I've been reading Kandi Steiner novels since my first love, A Love Letter to Whiskey, and I am so happy to have found her! She is an amazing author and isn't afraid to tear open your heart and piece it back together. I also love that she doesn't shy away from the big, messy topics and I feel that she approaches them slightly differently to other authors. This series is one that I will definitely be following until the end.

My favorite character is Bear because he's just such a wonderful guy. He's the friend that everyone wants because he'd go to the mats for you if you ever needed him to, but he's also someone you cn count on to hold you while you cry and keep your secrets. However, he also won't let himself be trampled, which is a great balance.

I was surprised throughout this series a few different times by various characters, but Grayson's secret KILLED me! 3 You definitely need to go start the series from Season 1! Like, right now...seriously, go!

Gah! I can't even say how much I enjoy these books and Season 3 was no different!!! The second I finished the book I already couldn't wait to read more! There is so much going on and every bit of it is enjoyable. Definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a fun, sexy read. Perfect for summer!

Still a lot of things that made me really uncomfortable.

Each one of the Palm South books pulls you in. The stories of her characters keep your wrapt in their hold. Pledge is more of the same. Erin has become the queen bee of trauma, and her story feels the most reflective of the troubles of higher education. Jess, Skylar, Ashlei, and Cassie's ongoing journeys force you to turn the page. And Bear and Adam hold down the male point of view. I'm already into book 4 and can't wait for book 5.

Aaah I just love our PSU Crew

Palm South University is like a highly additive, drama filled tv show that I read instead of watch. I have my favorite characters. There are couple that I'm rooting to get together or stay together. I feel like I am pretty invested in their lives. I yell at them during certain parts of the book trying to help them and they mostly ignore me. There is a big range of emotions that I feel while reading this book. They are my friends and I am already counting down to when the next season will be released.

I love everything Kandi Steiner writes, and this was no exception. I loved season 3, there was more drama, love, heartbreak, bliss and character development. By now the characters are worn, in, and loved, and there was still more development as they grow and move through life. This is an awesome book with well loved characters. This story is told in alternating views.
