Top 10 Tuesday: College-Set Books

I've been out of college for five years but it is still one of my favorite settings. College wasn't the best-time of my life (or worst) but I'm still drawn to it for some reason. I do think part of it is that I really New Adult-especially good New Adult.

I did put series together because otherwise this would be a list of all Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy. While that would be accurate it isn't very informative.

Like all of my lists these are in more particular order.

1) The Ivy Years Series by Sarina Bowen
2) Off-Campus Series by Elle Kennedy
3) Addicted to You by Krista and Becca Ritchie
4) Wait for You/Trust in Me by Jennifer L. Armentrout
5) Game On Series by Kristen Callihan
6) Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
7) Easy by Tammara Webber
8) Bowler University Series by Megan Erickson

Thanks for reading!

How I Got It: Purchased

               

                This read is part of a growing trend where I buy and read books I heard about on the DBSA podcast. And I haven’t been disappointed yet.

                This is a New Adult story but it’s not all angst and damaged pasts which was a breath of fresh air. Obviously there’s conflict because it’s a book, but everything isn’t the end of the world.

                I loved the relationship between Kat and Alec. They struggle with perceived intellectual differences which is a different kind of conflict. And I love the way they interact with each other. They are constantly joking around with each other, but in a healthy way.

                Alec is smart, but he isn’t a stereotypical mind. He’s funny and sexual. And-praise Jesus-not socially awkward.

                I only had a couple of issues. Sometimes the dialogue felt a little off. And sometimes Kat would over-react and/or not even let someone try to explain themselves. I can handle that behavior in moderation, but it was used a little too much in this book.

                This is the first in what I believe will be a three book series. I already bought the next one and will probably be reading that next. Who needs a TBR anyways. And I’m excited to read about the two characters the next book is about, but I also hope Kat and Alec show up some more so I can see them all happy and adorable.
