鈥� 3.435 stars
EDIT: I knew it was coming that one day I wake up and think about this book again and hate most about it. So I actually re-read HannahGarrett's novella again and felt sooo disappointed. Love the idea of them being the first book in the series and then, the last book ending with their chapters, but Elle Kennedy did (all) the characters so dirty... 馃槶
鈥�
The Legacy is not what I have in mind when I think of an epilogue novel(las). If you decide to write additional novella for each couple, then I expect a lot of domestic fluff and not fights about important milestones like marriage, pregnancy, kids etc. These kind of conflicts can be handled in each couple's full lenght novel. I really expected more happy scenes between each couple and instead we got some heavy stuff and unnecessary fights & drama.
BUTTTT despite all these issues that I have with this book, I still had a good time (mostly) reading this and I'm feeling generous right now to round up the 3.5 stars. Maybe tomorrow morning I'll wake up and choose violence and round down, we'll see. 馃槇
It's just one of those books, when I was reading it, I enjoyed it, but the more I think about it, the more issues I have with it. Was The Legacy great? No, far from it. I'd even go so far to call it pretty trash, but I went into this book with the lowest expectations (and so should you), so it turned out to be more entertaining than expected. It's nice to get some glimpses into where all of the Off Campus couples are now, but that's it.
鈮♀墶鈮♀墶鈮� The following part has SPOILERS for the whole book. Best read after finishing the book or on your own risk 鈮♀墶鈮♀墶鈮�

禄禄--- Logan & Grace ----芦芦
(3.5 鈥� The Pact 鈥� stars)
This novella was already published so there wasn't much new content to Logan and Grace story, but surprisingly I didn't enjoy it any less the second time around, even tho this couple is not my favorite in the series. Grace and Logan's part of the book is probably the most chill out of all the four couples. Their 'conflict' wasn't as bad as the others and Logan and Grace had the most couple time where they were happy in each other company imo.
How did I forget what a dork Logan is? 馃槶
禄禄--- Dean & Allie ---芦芦
(4 鈥� The Proposal 鈥� stars)
I forgot how funny Dean can be, cause I had a blast being in his head again. It started out amazing with Dean practising his proposal infront of Garrett and Logan. These guys together are the comedian trio I didn't know I needed 馃槀 And the guys planning Tucker's bachelor party???! Omg I love it. Brilliant idea of inviting all their former teammates and playing hockey together. The friendship between Dean, Garrett, Logan and Tucker was hands down the best part of this whole book.
I have a new found respect for Tucker after that psycho monologue of telling Dean that he would commit suicide on his deathbed just to steal his thunder as a warning that Dean is not allowed to propse at his weding 馃槀馃槀 Man, I didn't think Tucker had it in him, but he went full on ginger crazy 馃槀
And then we have the conflict of Allie not wanting to get married anytime soon and stopping Dean before he could propose, which was stupid. Even tho it was cute when Allie realised her mistake and propsed to Dean instead.
禄禄--- Tucker & Sabrina ---芦芦
(2.75听鈥� The Honeymoon 鈥� stars)
Elle Kennedy did Tucker and Sabrina so dirty. Once again. Their book was already not the best and this novella was a great opportunity to give some cute couple time together, but noo??? The first chapter was good with Tucker and Jamie and then with each chapter it just got worse and worse.
Sabrina and Tucker literally went to their honeymoon in hell. Anything that could go wrong, went wrong. Plane crash. Check. Stung by a jellyfish. Check. Sunburn. Check. Coconut falling on your head. Check.
The plot with the doll that the guys were gifting to each other was hilarious. It was always interesting to see where Alexander would appear next, only to see the couples' reaction to it. 馃槀
禄禄--- Garrett & Hannah ---芦芦
(3.49 鈥� The Legacy 鈥� stars)
Hannah and Garrett's part was the one I was looking forward the most, because they are my babies. So I was bummed to see how sad they were (Hannah with never finding the right moment to tell Garrett about the pregnancy and Garrett with having to deal with his abusive father all the time).
When Elle Kennedy said "The Legacy" what she really meant is Garrett protecting his father's "legacy" and I'm feeling like the biggest clown on earth. 馃ぁ How I thought that this book might pave the way for future Off Campus generation, but so much of the HannahGarrett novella was just Garrett being in a shitty mood, because no one knows what his father is really like, bc Garrett is too embarrassed of his past to tell anyone.
But the other domestic HannahGarrett moment we got, I ate them up. Garrett is such a dumbass and I love him for it. When he thought that Hannah would be moving out and run to the studio to make his declaration lmao or when he found out that they are expecting twins. Goal of the year, they say, but I say comedian of the year. 馃槀
And the bromance between Logan and Garrett?? If I didn't ship Garrett and Hannah together, I'd would consider Logan x Garrett as a good pairing.
P.s. As much as I like Jake Connelly, but him being the top scorer of the league above Garrett? No that's just not right and unacceptable. When it comes to all things hockey Garrett is always going to be #1 in everything. 馃槍

鈥淵ou鈥檙e really trying to sell me on this fireplace.鈥�
鈥淏ecause it鈥檚 fucking awesome and I wish we had one in the apartment.鈥�
鈥淣o, you don鈥檛. They鈥檙e a fire hazard.鈥�
鈥淵ou鈥檙e a fire hazard.鈥� I wink at her. 鈥淏ecause you鈥檙e so hot.鈥�
Grace sighs.
How did I forget what a dork Logan is? 馃槶
鈥淲e鈥檙e almost at the countdown. I expect some enthusiastic yelling. Ready, babe?鈥�
鈥淪ure. But we don鈥檛 have to yell鈥斺€�
鈥淭EN!鈥� Oh brother. 鈥淣INE!鈥� he shouts, motioning me with his hand to join in. And because I love this guy with all my heart, I make him happy and scream right along with him.
禄禄--- Dean & Allie ---芦芦
(4 鈥� The Proposal 鈥� stars)
鈥淔rom the day that you took me back after we broke up because I was an asshole and got high and missed your play.鈥� Nope. Also terrible. I try again. 鈥淎llie. I don鈥檛 even know where to start.鈥�
鈥淐learly,鈥� comes Garrett鈥檚 dry voice. 鈥淏y the way, the answer is no. Go ahead and close that box.鈥�

鈥淵ou know what, try it on me,鈥� Logan suggests. 鈥淕 is clearly not a good proposal receiver.鈥� 鈥淥h, fuck off, I鈥檓 a great proposal receiver. It鈥檚 just that the proposal sucks. I鈥檓 not going to say yes to something that doesn鈥檛 wow me.鈥�
鈥淕o wow yourself,鈥� I grumble, flipping up my middle finger.
Garrett beams at me. 鈥淚 do. Every day when I look in the mirror.鈥�

And then we have the conflict of Allie not wanting to get married anytime soon and stopping Dean before he could propose, which was stupid. Even tho it was cute when Allie realised her mistake and propsed to Dean instead.
I grit my teeth. 鈥淚 can鈥檛 fucking believe Logan would do this to us. And after we complimented his dick?鈥�
My fianc茅e sighs. 鈥淲e?鈥�
鈥淥h, like you weren鈥檛 impressed too,鈥� is my accusatory reply.
鈥淔ine, I was,鈥� Allie relents. She offers a shrug. 鈥淢rs. Logan is a lucky woman.鈥�
I nod in agreement. 鈥淎 very lucky鈥斺€� I stop abruptly. 鈥淲ait. What?鈥�
禄禄--- Tucker & Sabrina ---芦芦
(2.75听鈥� The Honeymoon 鈥� stars)
Elle Kennedy did Tucker and Sabrina so dirty. Once again. Their book was already not the best and this novella was a great opportunity to give some cute couple time together, but noo??? The first chapter was good with Tucker and Jamie and then with each chapter it just got worse and worse.
鈥淲hat happened to your tiara and jewelry, little darlin鈥�?鈥� I scoop her up because she鈥檚 liable to fall asleep on her tiny feet. 鈥淵ou lose them in the rope tunnel?鈥�Jamie is the cutest baby 馃ズ
鈥淚 gave them away,鈥� she answers, resting her cheek against my shoulder.
鈥淣ow why would you do that?鈥�
鈥淏ecause Lilli and Maria wanted to be princesses too, but they didn鈥檛 have any princess stuff so I gave them princess stuff.鈥�
Sabrina and Tucker literally went to their honeymoon in hell. Anything that could go wrong, went wrong. Plane crash. Check. Stung by a jellyfish. Check. Sunburn. Check. Coconut falling on your head. Check.
鈥淩eady?鈥� Tucker says.
鈥淒o it.鈥� Nodding, he winds his arm back and hurls Alexander as far as he possibly can. Then we stand there holding hands, watching the doll bob in the calm waves, slowly carried out to sea. 鈥淕o with God,鈥� Tucker says solemnly.
鈥淏abe. He鈥檚 going to Satan and we both know it.鈥�
鈥淭ruth, darlin鈥�.鈥�

Garrett鈥檚 fingers tangle in my hair. He pulls away for a moment to meet my eyes, staring at me with an expression I鈥檝e never seen before. My breath catches.
鈥淲丑补迟?鈥�
鈥淚 love you. Maybe more than I ever have.鈥�
But the other domestic HannahGarrett moment we got, I ate them up. Garrett is such a dumbass and I love him for it. When he thought that Hannah would be moving out and run to the studio to make his declaration lmao or when he found out that they are expecting twins. Goal of the year, they say, but I say comedian of the year. 馃槀
鈥淐ongratulations,鈥� she announces with a grin. 鈥淵ou鈥檙e having twins.鈥�
鈥淭wins?鈥� I echo stupidly. 鈥淵ou serious, Doc?鈥�
鈥淭wins?鈥� I say again. 鈥淟ike two?鈥�
鈥淭wo,鈥� she confirms.
Garrett鈥檚 face collapses. 鈥淚 only bought one jersey.鈥�
And the bromance between Logan and Garrett?? If I didn't ship Garrett and Hannah together, I'd would consider Logan x Garrett as a good pairing.
鈥淚 still can鈥檛 believe you got married without me,鈥� he accuses his best friend. I fight a laugh. 鈥淚t鈥檚 not a team sport, sweetie.鈥� He ignores me.
鈥淚 was supposed to be your best man.鈥� He leans past me to glare at Logan. 鈥淵ou realize this means when Wellsy and I have a wedding, you鈥檙e not best man number one anymore. I鈥檓 giving it to Dean. Dean, Tucker, then you.鈥�
Logan leans forward too. 鈥淣o, you鈥檙e not. It鈥檚 going to be me first.鈥�
Garrett sighs. 鈥淚t鈥檚 going to be you first.鈥�
鈥淵ou two want to get a room?鈥� I ask as they practically hang over me, making googly eyes at each other.
P.s. As much as I like Jake Connelly, but him being the top scorer of the league above Garrett? No that's just not right and unacceptable. When it comes to all things hockey Garrett is always going to be #1 in everything. 馃槍

ek really succeeded in ruining these characters for me. she managed to change the entire characters鈥� personalities in ONE BOOK. while reading some parts i really wondered if she even knows her own characters since they were often unrecognizable. AND ENDING THE BOOK WITH A CLIFFHANGER?? NO. that鈥檚 not how you should have written this book elle. i think what all of us readers wanted were just some cute family moments/domestic scenes. all the drama wasn鈥檛 necessary. anyway, it would have been better if she hadn鈥檛 written the book at all. UGH. SO DISAPPOINTING.

pissed is an understatement. i want to just forget i ever read this book or even knew it existed like just what the fuck. please just someone explain because what. the. fuck.
elle kennedy did her characters so dirty like鈥� does she even know her characters because this was not them.
in all honesty, i dont wanna even get into it but i gotta let it out cjsjkfkg
i adored when they all would be around each other and hang out fjskfk and the humour was great but whenever it was like a 鈥漮ne on one鈥� with the couples, it was just a disappointment ummm
plus the recycled plots are not it. if you wanna add some drama into short fucking novella then be original at least?? or make it better
can we just all fucking agree that hannahgarrett deserved better. what the fuck did elle kennedy do to my babies?? i wanted to cry out of frustration while reading their novella because never in a million fucking years would their argument take place. nope. just fucking wtf
dean and allie tho?? those two really served in their novella. it was funny, cute, wholesome, honestly all things good besides the miscommunication
sabrinatucker were just average. nothing amazing or bad. gracelogan did not serve, dont even challenge me on it.
speaking of miscommunication, what the actual fuck. why was every. single. novella have the same fucking issue. this whole book was just miscommunication like seriously i cant express how mad i am
miscommunication or communication issues i dont fucking care how people wanna put it just. why? all the drama and issues were so unnecessary like I JUST WANT HAPPY STORIES not more bullshit issues for no fucking reason
!! IM GONNA GO ON A HUGE RANT ABOUT EACH NOVELLA FOR MY OWN SANITY SO SPOILER WARNING !!
i really need to get this shit out of my system because ummm i just do.
the pact (gracelogan) :
猡� 鈽� 鈽� 鈽� 鈽� 鈽�
lets just all agree that this was shit. why the hell is grace still annoying?? gosh if i have to hear her complain one more time i will bang my head in
the 鈥漝istance and busy鈥� problem has to go. i saw that in jamie and wes in the book 鈥汉颈蝉鈥� and its not a a nice plot. why recycle something she鈥檚 already done one??
but speaking of jamie and wes, i love their cameo and it made me miss those two so fucking much fjskfkg
i really just dont like grace. im sorry for all grace lovers in the world but she鈥檚 my least favourite and in this novella it made me hate her more. she complains so damn much and im just sick of it lol
plus the whole point of their story was the elopement but we didnt even get to fucking see it so鈥�. what the fuck??
the proposal (deanallie) :
猡� 鈽� 鈽� 鈽� 鈽� 鈽�
this definitely would鈥檝e been a 5 star if dean wasnt so immature at the end. elle kennedy really had to just take the same issue in 鈥漷he score鈥� where he just went into this hole of idk tbh BUT ITS ANNOYING
he shouldve talked about the marriage before and allie is right to be mad. marriage should always be discussed before you commit because i would fucking be mad too if a man just went on one knee without discussing wether or not i want to even be with him lol
on a good note, the content of logan, dean and garrett in this book was gold. i fucking love them.
鈥淭hen Logan鈥檚 mouth falls open. He turns to Garrett, wide-eyed. Then back at me.
鈥淐hills,鈥� he breathes. 鈥淕enuine chills, man. Look.鈥� He rolls up his shirt sleeve to show me his arm. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 the one.鈥�
鈥淭hat is not the one!鈥� Garrett growls from the recliner. 鈥淒on鈥檛 you fucking say any of that or you鈥檙e going to lose the girl.鈥�
definitely my favourite part. them helping dean was seriously the highlight of this book. not even just the highlight of the novella; the whole fucking book.
then the bachelor party?? that was fucking smart and soooo good. how they got their old team and the new team to all come together and they just play hockey??
thats the cutest shit ever fjkskfkg
this novella was most definitely the best novella and ugh i should鈥檝e just stopped there while i could鈥� but yeah, i didnt
the honeymoon (sabrinatucker) :
猡� 鈽� 鈽� 鈽� 鈽� 鈽�
jamie is the sweetest kid. before we even get into this. JAMIE IS THE SWEETEST KID.
she is so wholesome and sweet like she should get her own fucking novella or even book because it would be a solid five fucking stars
sabrina is a super uptight mum but i dont blame her. she鈥檚 doing great plus with all her studying and work?? she鈥檚 a fucking boss
the miscommunication with them was not it tho. tucker shouldve been more open to sabrina like she isnt a mind reader sir. ofc she should make him more of a priority but she has a lot on her plate, give her a break
i felt so bad for them cause they had the worst luck during their trip fnskkfkf
1. the plane
2. tucker gets stung
3. coconut falls on sabrina鈥檚 head during sexy time
4. gets full sunburnt
5. ALEXANDER COMES BACK after being thrown into the fucking ocean
6. TUCKER GETS ARRESTED
yeah, in the end this book was just average. it was cute and all but there wasnt any big 鈥漺辞飞鈥� factor so鈥� yeah
the legacy (hannahgarrett) :
猡� 鈽� 鈽� 鈽� 鈽� 鈽�
dont get me fucking started on how disappointed i am. no, disappointment is an understatement. I WANT TO JUST SCREAM UGH
this was so bad. this was not it. garrett would never say that shit to hannah like wtf?? the garrett in 鈥漷he deal鈥� would not compare her to his dad who abused him. thats so wrong and now im just ugh. im pissed and just wtf
also, they have great communication with one another so tell me fucking why they had miscommunication?? they were the one couple who had the best relationship imo
putting my frustration aside, the jake connelly cameo. gosh. my king. i love that guy with my whole heart cjskfkkg and the way hannah finds him hot too??
鈥淗e鈥檚 so handsome,鈥� Hannah breathes as he walks away.
鈥淜eep it in your pants,鈥� I chide.鈥�
cnjskfkfkd like same man, same.
n e ways, back to my raging
WHAT THE FUCK like garrett鈥檚 dad?? tell that man to die im so sick of his existence and just so fed up with his bullshit
then hannah being scared and never having the time to tell garrett then telling him over voicemail?? that was just wrong. garrett shouldnt have said what he said tho. god, IM MAD AT BOTH OF THEM.
like MY FAV COUPLE WITH ONE OF THE BEST FCUKING COMMUNICATION HVAING LACK OF COMMUNICATION ISSUES?? WTF. thats just a fucking scam and a half.
epilogue :
猡� 鈽� 鈽� 鈽� 鈽� 鈽�
yeah. that was shit. that just was so underwhelming. they werent even all together in the epilogue. they shouldve been all together, laughing idk doing some hot shit
in all honesty, I DIDNT CARE ABOUT THE TWINS. OR THEIR GENDERS. I WAS HERE FOR THE CONTENT OF THE CHARACTERS.
im gonna die.
CONCLUSION 藥藠藯
i wasnt meant to go on such a rant but i had to get it out of my system. now imma cry. goodbye < /3
Want to read
November 8, 2022Nah, i am not gonna read it. Thank you.
Okay, update - G AND H DESERVE THE PREGNANCY.
They would serve it like no other character.
My guess(we will see):
Pregnancy: G AND H (We already have had an accidental pregnancy so more likely will be my babies this time. They are ready, in my opinion - and Dean or Logan's time just did not come yet for me.)
Proposal: Logan
Honeymoon: Dean?
Wedding: Tuck? (Maybe they only have time to do the wedding right now when their baby is 3-4 yo.)
I am not sure..
Somebody tell me there is gonna be a daddy Garrett cause that is the only thing that I can think of and what is missing from my life. THANK YOU.
Are you still alive? Yea, me neither.

this was supposed to be all cute and nostalgic but shit made me lose brain cells. i kept opening the other books in the series to see if i'm even reading about the right people. EK just went ahead and said "lemme delete who they were and lemme write new characters" like excuse me if you can't even write about your own characters properly then you shouldn't write a new book about them. also this was filled with so much drama, secrets and just plain ass unnecessary communication problems.
logan & grace - nothing really happened and i don't like how the chapter ended without us hearing any vows or shit???? like wtf their part consisted of nothing but drama
dean & allie - i was so disappointed because this is supposed to be a happy ending type of shit but they kept fighting??? and after 4 years they still go ahead and ignore each other when they disagree? no character development whatsoever.
tucker & sabrina - one of my fav couples ever but i feel like they deserved way better than what was written. like why tf did such a happy moment in their life have to be ruined like that? and again their part was supposed to be about THEM yet it was anything but that. like please why did they have to FIGHT on their honeymoon.
garrett & hannah - by the time i reached their part i was bored and angry so idek how i actually feel about them. this part kinda made me sad and not in a good way. also their part def was the best of all of them but it still is disappointing.

we were robbed. just in general, we were robbed of everything
September 21, 2021
So happy to be back with the off campus gang 馃槶馃挄
It was so much fun reading about these 4 couples again! I forgot how ridiculous and hilarious the boys are when they鈥檙e all together. My favorite novella was Logan and Grace鈥檚 (though I believe this has been published before, I鈥檝e just never read it) and my least favorite was Garrett and Hannah鈥檚. All 4 novellas are basically extended epilogues of the Off-Campus books and are very marriage/baby centered. If you love the series and want to see what these characters are up to years later, you need to read this!
Logan + Grace's novella: 5 stars
Yes Logan is my favorite so I'm biased but I loved revisiting these two. I think this novella was previously published but since it was new to me, I'm happy with it, though I can see others being super disappointed not have have something new for this couple. Logan and Grace need some time alone together to reconnect since hockey and school have been keeping them apart for too long. They end up getting stuck in a snowstorm on their way to their B&B but have the sweetest time together!
Dean + Allie's novella: 4 stars
Dean is ready to get married but Allie... is not. They're on completely different pages regarding marriage but they have to make things work because they're IT for each other. I forgot how much of a charmer Dean was but I fell in love with him all over again in this novella. This reformed manwhore LIVES for Allie!
Tucker + Sabrina's novella: 4 stars
These two finally have some time away alone together in a tropical paradise, but things don't really go according to plan. There's a creepy haunted doll (that's featured in each novella) and some big decisions to be made about both their careers.
Garrett + Hannah's novella: 3 stars
This was sadly my least favorite, which was disappointing since The Deal is one of my all-time favorite books. I was annoyed at how Hannah tries to keep a secret from Garrett for most of the story. Garrett gets some closure with his abusive father but I expected a lot more from this one!

I have a few things to say and the rant can't wait to leave my body, but this... thing... summed up in three main thoughts? here it is:
1) Selective amnesia if you are there listening to my prayers please work now!! This ""novella"" could be my 13th reason.
2) I think each author should read this and take notes on how NOT to write a novella for their characters. It will leave them an invaluable lesson I believe.
3) Elle Kennedy I'm sorry to tell you this, but you are now an international criminal. Lock your doors.
And now let's get to the fun and liberating part reviewing each of the novellas individually...
Logan and Grace 鈥� 2鈽�. They are my second favorite couple and this part could have rated higher if not for the recycling of the previous Christmas story. Anyway, the added parts were good so I don't have much to complain about here. I kinda forgot how dorky Logan and Grace are, but they are so so cute I could take these silly stories forever! Also, John Logan finally being happy? that's all i needed to know.
Dean and Allie 鈥� 1.5鈽� If you need to know, that 1.5 star is from Summer Dilaurentis and her comment on Fitz regarding her or not as his forever, I love this girl so much. As for Dean and Allie... sorry, but what exactly is this supposed to bring to the table? I could have traded this waste of pages for more Hannah and Garrett content.
It's no secret that I've never liked Dean as the main character, but I was fine with Allie because she was funny, but I really don't understand what went down here. Are you telling me that they have been together for 4 years, in a committed relationship, living together and talking about future plans, but they don't know what the other wants? or when? then Allie let her fears get the better of her, completely ignoring Dean's feelings in the process, unable to understand his point of view, but also unable to explain hers to him? oh, at this point I was tired of this story, but can we add one last point? Let's talk about how characters that nobody knows were the voice of reason so that she could see things from another angle... JUST TO END WITH A PROPOSAL OF ANY WAYS!!! sorry I just don't get it.
Tucker and Sabrina 鈥� 1鈽�. If this is Elle Kennedy's way of being funny, someone should tell her that this is not her strong suit.
I'm gonna be quick here because I don't care much about this couple; somehow after reading The Goal I could totally see Tucker being the "yes, my love, whatever you say" kind of boyfriend, but I never expected him to be this bland and submissive character almost scared of doing things for himself. He was always dull but this was very extreme. And then when he finally FINALLY exploded, he decided to leave her alone and go somewhere else... OOC much? it's as if she forgot that she wrote these characters.
And Sabrina... in short, she grew up to adopt Gail's personality, Tucker's mom. I really loved her character because she was this bitchy boss woman who did everything herself, working hard to get out of the reality she was in, kicking butt in the process, but now EK decided that it was a good idea to make her into an overberaing mother, and pretty much the most annoying character ever? She's literally one step away from becoming a Karen and I feel like crying!
The only impression that this story left me is that they began and ended together because of the baby and nothing else, being a convenient situation for both. That's the end of this love story.
Garrett and Hannah 鈥� 2.5鈽� SOMEONE HOLD ME BECAUSE I'M ABOUT TO KILL A BITCH!!!
I still enjoyed some moments of this story, but those little scenes were a given since Hannah and Garrett are my fav couple and I'm gonna take any crumb, but this was wrong on so many levels... I just don't understand how she came out with this.
I'm fine with the unexpected pregnancy trope, but considering their relationship I just don't understand where all this misunderstanding, secrecy and accusations came from! And the fact that she reused Garrett's piece of shit father plot instead of coming up with something new... I'm sorry, I just don't understand why that man is still wasting oxygen, and even more involved in Garrett's life. I'm happy to get a story about my favorite couple living their best life and being successful, starting a family and blah blah, but this plot definitely tainted all of the above and I can't get over it.
Also, the first proposal... I'm sorry my murderous instincts are coming back, but WHAT. THE. HELL. WAS. THAT? The breakfast proposal gave me EmmaCassidy vibes from The Trouble With Love, but that's completely different because they had been there before! Hannah and Garrett deserved something better and not boring like what we got, and the nerve to write that then Garrett actually proposed but we didn't get to see it... yeah, let me just go sharpen my knives or something.
And some other things that I can't not talk about:
鈥� The group chats and the haunted doll was fun most of the time.
鈥� Allie spilling Hannah's secret? not okay!! You just have to read their own books to know that that would never happen and it was a really weird thing to add in this novella.
鈥� Garrett and Logan's bromance. If we were talking about any other author I might take this as a hilarious thing, but since we're talking about EK and she loves to fetish this didn't sit right with me.
鈥� I love Jake Connelly so freaking much but him scoring more than Garrett is completely unbelievable, sorry my boy!
鈥� If for some reason she's thinking of a next gen... God help us!! she managed to ruin her main characters in a novella, I don't even want to think what she could do with a full book, much less a new series.

4.00!
路藲 嗉樷倞路 蜔蜔蜑蜑陹扳灣 The pact
鈺扳攬鉃�5 stars!
Grace and Logan are my favorite character (Note: I said character, not couple) like you guys know how much I love Logan, everything that comes out of his mouth is so funny like please I love him so much. He gives you everything, banter, swoon-worthy moments, dirty talk and his own fucking presence and then there Grace who literally still blabbered and it was so cute like so cute she was so cute and the whole pact thing was so adorable and the setting was perfect, stranded on a ditch on new years while its snowing. Tell me a better setting than that!! It was so amazing and every moment of theirs I savored. My favorite moment being:
" 'One more minute' Logan exclaims.
'Thirty seconds,' he warns 'Sit up, Woman."
'We are almost at the countdown. I expect some enthusiastic yelling. Ready, babe?'
'Sure. But we don't have to yell-'
'TEN!'
oh brother.
'NINE!' he shouts, motioning me with his hand to join in.
And because I love this guy with all my heart, I make him happy and scream right along with him. When we finish shouting 'ONE!', Logan throws in a 'HAPPY NEW YEAR!' and then kisses me deeply.
I return the kiss, pulling back to whisper, 'Happy New Year, Johnny.'
'Happy New Year, Gracie.' "
.
鈥淭here鈥檚 nobody else I鈥檇 rather freeze to death with than you.鈥�
His chest vibrates from laughter. 鈥淩ight back atcha, gorgeous.鈥�
路藲 嗉樷倞路 蜔蜔蜑蜑陹扳灣 The Proposal
鈺扳揽鉃�4.25!
Allie and Dean have the best banter because they are both so witty and fun to read about and Elle Kennedy starting the book with Dean practicing his proposal with Logan and Garrett was so fun because like it was the perfect thing that I needed to brighten my day...Although frustrating but I still loved how the proposal went and especially in the end how it turned out and their banter was just>>> I was so happy to read this.
鈥淭his blinding ring on Allie鈥檚 finger is like a billboard announcing to everyone we know and everyone we鈥檙e gonna know, that this woman is mine. She owns my heart.鈥�
.
"He's totally picturing me giving him a blowjob.
'I'm picturing you giving me a blowjob.' He says (the way I cackled)
路藲 嗉樷倞路 蜔蜔蜑蜑陹扳灣 The Honeymoon
鈺扳揽鉃�3.05!
I was fairly surprised by how their book turned out so I was very excited for this Novella but tbh it was frustrating to read at times. I enjoyed it, I did not have that much of a problem with but it wasn't anything memorable. I love Sabrina and Tucker and I just wanted to have ONE happy honeymoon but that didn't happen. I enjoyed their banter and the moments that they had especially the whole alexander the doll scene that revolved through every part but was prominent here had me howling.
鈥淵ou鈥檙e amazing,鈥� I inform him. A smile curves his mouth. 鈥淒on鈥檛 you forget it, darlin鈥�.鈥� 鈥淣ever.鈥�
.
鈥淣odding, he winds his arm back and hurls Alexander as far as he possibly can. Then we stand there holding hands, watching the doll bob in the calm waves, slowly carried out to sea. 鈥淕o with God,鈥� Tucker says solemnly. 鈥淏abe. He鈥檚 going to Satan and we both know it.鈥� 鈥淭ruth, darlin鈥�.鈥� When Alexander is finally out of sight, I don鈥檛 feel grief. Only relief. Freedom.鈥�
路藲 嗉樷倞路 蜔蜔蜑蜑陹扳灣 The Legacy
鈺扳揽鉃�3.85!
Tbh I was a bit let down by their part because they are my favorite couple in this whole series and I was waiting for this part so much because this series literally started with and was ending with them but I really enjoyed it and laughed with them because come on they are the OG couple yk? I loved every little crumb that i got off HannahGarrett but the problems with Hannah could not finding a right moment and Garrett going on about his dad was so frustrating to read because just sit down and find a moment which it did but ufff I am just glad it ended happy and AHHH the ending was so cute!
鈥淪ABRINA: I think the more important question is鈥攚hat are Hannah and Grace gonna do now that we know their boyfriends are secretly banging in elevators? HANNAH: I feel so betrayed. ME: For real. They鈥檝e been sleeping together this whole time and haven鈥檛 even let us watch??!? HANNAH: !!! SABRINA: !!?!! ALLIE: !!!??鈥�

鈺扳攬鉃�5 stars!
Grace and Logan are my favorite character (Note: I said character, not couple) like you guys know how much I love Logan, everything that comes out of his mouth is so funny like please I love him so much. He gives you everything, banter, swoon-worthy moments, dirty talk and his own fucking presence and then there Grace who literally still blabbered and it was so cute like so cute she was so cute and the whole pact thing was so adorable and the setting was perfect, stranded on a ditch on new years while its snowing. Tell me a better setting than that!! It was so amazing and every moment of theirs I savored. My favorite moment being:
" 'One more minute' Logan exclaims.
'Thirty seconds,' he warns 'Sit up, Woman."
'We are almost at the countdown. I expect some enthusiastic yelling. Ready, babe?'
'Sure. But we don't have to yell-'
'TEN!'
oh brother.
'NINE!' he shouts, motioning me with his hand to join in.
And because I love this guy with all my heart, I make him happy and scream right along with him. When we finish shouting 'ONE!', Logan throws in a 'HAPPY NEW YEAR!' and then kisses me deeply.
I return the kiss, pulling back to whisper, 'Happy New Year, Johnny.'
'Happy New Year, Gracie.' "
.
鈥淭here鈥檚 nobody else I鈥檇 rather freeze to death with than you.鈥�
His chest vibrates from laughter. 鈥淩ight back atcha, gorgeous.鈥�

鈺扳揽鉃�4.25!
Allie and Dean have the best banter because they are both so witty and fun to read about and Elle Kennedy starting the book with Dean practicing his proposal with Logan and Garrett was so fun because like it was the perfect thing that I needed to brighten my day...Although frustrating but I still loved how the proposal went and especially in the end how it turned out and their banter was just>>> I was so happy to read this.
鈥淭his blinding ring on Allie鈥檚 finger is like a billboard announcing to everyone we know and everyone we鈥檙e gonna know, that this woman is mine. She owns my heart.鈥�

"He's totally picturing me giving him a blowjob.
'I'm picturing you giving me a blowjob.' He says (the way I cackled)

I was fairly surprised by how their book turned out so I was very excited for this Novella but tbh it was frustrating to read at times. I enjoyed it, I did not have that much of a problem with but it wasn't anything memorable. I love Sabrina and Tucker and I just wanted to have ONE happy honeymoon but that didn't happen. I enjoyed their banter and the moments that they had especially the whole alexander the doll scene that revolved through every part but was prominent here had me howling.
鈥淵ou鈥檙e amazing,鈥� I inform him. A smile curves his mouth. 鈥淒on鈥檛 you forget it, darlin鈥�.鈥� 鈥淣ever.鈥�
.
鈥淣odding, he winds his arm back and hurls Alexander as far as he possibly can. Then we stand there holding hands, watching the doll bob in the calm waves, slowly carried out to sea. 鈥淕o with God,鈥� Tucker says solemnly. 鈥淏abe. He鈥檚 going to Satan and we both know it.鈥� 鈥淭ruth, darlin鈥�.鈥� When Alexander is finally out of sight, I don鈥檛 feel grief. Only relief. Freedom.鈥�

Tbh I was a bit let down by their part because they are my favorite couple in this whole series and I was waiting for this part so much because this series literally started with and was ending with them but I really enjoyed it and laughed with them because come on they are the OG couple yk? I loved every little crumb that i got off HannahGarrett but the problems with Hannah could not finding a right moment and Garrett going on about his dad was so frustrating to read because just sit down and find a moment which it did but ufff I am just glad it ended happy and AHHH the ending was so cute!
鈥淪ABRINA: I think the more important question is鈥攚hat are Hannah and Grace gonna do now that we know their boyfriends are secretly banging in elevators? HANNAH: I feel so betrayed. ME: For real.

When authors write epilogue books, that means for authors is easy buck and for fans nostalgic fluff.
Well unless you are Elle Kennedy. No one wants unnecessary drama, we already have that in OG books.
- Logan and Grace: meh nothing happened besides smut
- Dean and Allie: how is Allie bad guy for not wanting to get married and why is that a thing in novella
- Tucker and Sabrina (my favorite OG couple): EK hates Tucker as much she hates thought of writing F/F. Anyway they deserve better.
- Garrett and Hannah: imagine this Hannah needs to find time when Garrett isn't angry to tell she thinks she is pregnant..
No couple got really romantic moment, more was giving to guy being together, Jamie was scene-staler so adorable. In end this was boring with least amount of effort from EK.

O meu favorito, at茅 a parte do Tucker e da Sabrina conseguiu n茫o ser muito aborrecida e teve partes bastante divertidas.
Obviamente que a parte mais divertida 茅 a participa莽茫o de Alexander, ideia de Dean (s贸 podia), que vai dar origem a um novo jogo divertido entre os quatro casais.

My favorite, even Tucker and Sabrina's part managed not to be too boring and had quite fun parts.
Obviously the most fun part is Alexander's participation, Dean's idea (of course), which will origins a new and funny game between the four couples.

N茫o dou uma classifica莽茫o mais alta, porque, tr锚s anos mais tarde n茫o foi suficiente, ou pelo menos n茫o 茅 este livro que faz o encerramento da hist贸ria das personagens que nos acompanharam por quatro livros.

I don't give it a higher rating, because three years later it wasn't enough, or at least this book isn't the one that ends the story of the characters who have accompanied us for four books.

Tucker e Sabrina, Garrett e Hannah podemos ficar 鈥渟atisfeitos鈥�, mas Logan e Grace, Dean e Allie n茫o.
Fiquei com uma sensa莽茫o de algo inacabado, um cliffhanger.
Garrett e Hannah sabemos que existe continua莽茫o com a sua filha numa pr贸xima s茅rie de Elle , mas os restantes casais?

Tucker and Sabrina, Garrett and Hannah we can be 'satisfied', but Logan and Grace, Dean and Allie we can't.
I was left with a feeling of something unfinished, a cliffhanger.
Garrett and Hannah we know that there is a continuation with their daughter in an upcoming Elle series , but the other couples?

There鈥檚 a reason I don鈥檛 care about epilogues that much.
I wanted fun, banter, lightness, fluff, closure, and maybe a group hang out. What I got was...so not that. I was so looking for Garrett and Hannah鈥檚 story and I felt that it has the most potential, but it got wasted because of Garett鈥檚 on going grumpy mood. Why would we waste a short epilogue on his father? Who cares about that? I liked their story, but I felt disappointed and I just wanted more, I guess.
I didn鈥檛 care that much about the others stories, it was just what you鈥檇 expect an epilogue to be, but I felt sad for Tucker and Sabrina. Honestly, I just felt sadness and pity for them. Their epilogue was just sad and pathetic and it just shows that the author have a drier sense of humor than me.

The Legacy was such a fun read! It was great to catch up with all the Off Campus couples we love so much. John Logan will always be my absolute favorite, so of course I loved Logan and Grace's story best, but all were good. It was fun to guess who was pregnant, who was married, who eloped etc. I definitely recommend to all lovers of this series and sports romance. Elle Kennedy does sports romance so well and the audio was fantastic to listen to.
Four stories. Four couples. Three years of real life after graduation...
A wedding.
A proposal.
An elopement.
And a surprise pregnancy.
Can you guess which couple is which?

鈥淗annah Wells is my rock鈥�
1.5 stars for hannahgarrett and hannahgarrett only.
this should've truly stayed in the drafts... it honestly doesn't even deserve more than one star at best but i'm sucker for hannahgarrett eventhough they STILL deserved better. they got the shittiest trope and the shittiest proposal... she did them so dirty, i genuinely don't see the point of this book..
april 2021 :
adding this for hannahgarrett and hannahgarrett only!

3.5 stars. This was a great ending for the most amazing couples. There were some of my favorite parts ever, and then there were some parts I was not a fan of hence the 4 stars. I read this in one sitting and went to sleep at 6 am because I couldn鈥檛 stop reading. I feel empty now that it鈥檚 over 馃ズ Thank you elle kennedy + publishers for sending me the arc!

I don't even know what to say.
No, scratch that. I actually have A LOT to say.
You see, I wasn't expecting anything out of this novella collection, but damn, this was a whole other level of "go girl, give us nothing".
Grace and Logan's novella (鈽呪槄鈽�) 鈥� There's not much to be said about their part. It was much the same novella released some time ago with only very few new scenes. I've always liked Grace and Logan so I was disappointed when I heard that we would get barely any new content, which I think it's totally unfair because really, what the fuck? The author could have chosen any couple from any of her series to write about in that other anthology, but she chose gracelogan, which is more than okay, but now she goes and like "punish" them by not writing anything new when all the other couples are getting new content? I mean, it seems pretty unfair to me.
Also, when she did write new scenes (I say this very vaguely), she just cuts the scene before the big moment? What the hell is that supposed to mean?
They deserved better, really.
Dean and Allie's novella (鈽�) 鈥� I've never been a fan of Dean but I used to tolerate Allie on some level. Well, after their novella, I can gladly say that these two are the dumbest bitches out there. People who know me know that I can barely stand Dean, but I have to surprisingly say that, in this novella, the boy was probably in the right while Allie was a complete pain in the ass. I get her fears and respect that she didn't feel ready to take some steps regarding her relationship with Dean. The problem is that she REALLY couldn't see that a relationship doesn't solely rotate around one person. She couldn't see past her fears to realize Dean also had some fears of his own and it was really annoying because Dean wasn't forcing her to do anything (it really pains me to say that Dean was somehow in his right).
The result was a clusterfuck of a novella. Also, Dean couldn't stop being his usual annoying self regarding other matters like he really couldn't shut the fuck up about his dick. Dude, I assure you no one cares about that. Really.
I think I dislike him more than before if that's possible.
Sabrina and Tucker's novella (鈽呪槄) 鈥� They are my favorite couple from Off-Campus so, while I really wasn't expecting anything good out of this collection, can you imagine what I thought when I read their nasty novella? I mean what the actual fuck?????
The author thought she could write Tucker being an ass and no one would notice? Oh, give me a break.
I actually can believe that she managed to ruin one of the few good couples she has, but I would have preferred if she didn't.
They REALLY deserved better.
Garrett and Hannah's novella (鈽�) 鈥� This is where I say I'm somehow surprised. hannahgarrett is probably Elle's favorite couple so I thought they would at least be spared. Wrong.
This novella was fighting with deanallie's novella to see which one could be the worst.
It was funny because Garrett said his relationship with Hannah was so mature and good and yada yada yada and then everything went down the drain.
They were both heavily wrong at some point in their novella. Garrett managed to compare Hannah with his shit father in a moment she really needed his support and reassurance, and Hannah had the nerve to actually judge the way Garrett chose to deal with his demons. This was downright messed up.
Overall, it seems to me that Elle Kennedy tried to innovate and say "fuck happily ever after, lemme show real couples with real problems". And well... nothing wrong with that except that... THIS IS A GODAMMIT NOVELLA COLLECTION AND NOT A FULL-LENGTH BOOK WHERE YOU CAN PROPERLY DEVELOP PROBLEMS AND WORK ON SOLUTIONS.
I had to yell.
In all novellas (except gracelogan's because theirs was written a long time ago, I suppose) the common denominator was that EK wrote her characters being unnecessarily mean and 100% jerks. Correct me if I'm wrong, but when you're reading a novella that takes place after one's book, you would expect lots of happy and domestic scenes. Well, at least I would.
Also, it really bothered me how she used Logan and Garrett's very fake and rumored romantic relationship as a joke between the girls. What Grace said didn't sit right with me, it came out kinda fetishized.
"ME: For real. They鈥檝e been sleeping together this whole time and haven鈥檛 even let us watch??!?
HANNAH: !!!
SABRINA: !!?!!
ALLIE: !!!??"
And why the constant necessity of writing about "puck bunnies" chasing the guys? Like it was degrading to read that more times than not they would enter their hotel rooms and find naked girls throwing themselves at the boys. I get that this happens in real life but still, the repetition also didn't sit right with me. It was uncomfortable.
With this very long review, I have to say that I'm relieved this series is over. I enjoyed one book or two back in the day but now I'm more than ready to leave EK's books behind. She clearly doesn't know when to stop with the right timing.
Actually, you know what? The impression I had while reading was that the author clearly didn't give a damn about this collection so she just half-assed the whole thing. This gives me second-hand embarrassment. If you don't want to write about certain characters then don't fucking do it. It's better than to release this... I don't even know what to call it.
P.S.: I really hated the way Allie spilled Hannah's secret after swearing she wouldn't. And it was a sensitive matter so really it was so disrespectful.
