A review by readintowonderland
The Charlie Method by Elle Kennedy

4.5

This one was a fun time to read. I loved the inclusion of mixed media to break up the monotony and add a bit of humor. I had a lot of fun annotating the funny elements and interacting with the book as I went. 

I will say this book was probably longer than it needed to be. There were a TON of spicy scenes which upped the page count a good bit, but does reflect the characters quite well. In terms of the actual plot, I wouldn't remove any of it. It had me hooked the whole time, excited to see where things would unfold next. There were a lot of different forms of drama and I was here for it. It honestly gave me the vibes of a soap opera set at a college. 

I liked the dual plotline of Will and his father drama, plus Charlie's family drama, and Beckett's trust issues combined with the romance elements. Having these characters have things to work out on their own really added to the realism. They all have flaws that make them feel like rounded out people. 

As I mentioned earlier, there are a ton of spicy scenes, including literally on page one. If that is not your thing, I do not recommend this book. 

I received this book as an arc from Hambright PR. My review is honest and voluntary.
