"Life's too short to hold back on the things that make you happy." ๐Ÿ’

This book was a delightful reunion with the Off-Campus crew and I loved seeing how everyone's lives had unfolded.  Seeing how their relationships evolved, the new challenges they faced, and the sheer joy they found in their lives was heartwarming. The introduction of "Alexander" made me laugh out loud every time he appeared in the story. I genuinely want to do this with my own friends now... ๐Ÿคฃ

However, while I enjoyed the book overall, a couple of familiar romance tropes reared their heads, which, unfortunately, knocked a star off for me. The miscommunication trope, and especially the secret pregnancy plotline, are personal pet peeves. I understand they create drama and tension, but they just aren't for me.

Despite these minor gripes, this book is a must-read for fans of the series. It's a sweet, satisfying epilogue to the Off-Campus world, and a reminder of why we fell in love with these characters in the first place.
