She knows when to look outside herself for comfort, and inside herself for strength.ĭean Di Laurentis had a long road to walk to being ‘boyfriend material.’ We were all a little surprised when he pursued Allie after that first night.

She protects herself by pulling away when it’s necessary. When things outside anyone’s control throw her world into chaos, she knows when enough is enough. Rather than try and force him into her nature, she tried doing things a new way. In The Score Allie pushes herself to try something new with Dean. Her romantic history told a story of someone that needed a ‘boyfriend’ by her side. Allie continues to show those qualities in this book, only this time, she’s pushing and protecting herself.

She protected her at parties, she pushed her to try new things, and most importantly, she was there for Hannah when she needed her. She was the best friend that Hannah needed. When we first met Allie as Hannah’s roommate, it was hard not to fall a little bit in love with her. It’s not that they are any more compelling of a pair than the others in the Off-Campus series, but they both had to overcome their natures to figure out how to be together and that feels more significant somehow. There was nothing that could prepare us for Dean and Allie. Allie breathes a sigh of relief and packs the essentials. He promises to warn the roommates of her arrival.

Garrett and Hannah, who we all fell for in The Deal, are out of town, and Garrett graciously offers her the use of his room at his place for the weekend.

They make up some of our favorite reads of last year. If you haven’t read the other books in Elle Kennedy’s Off-Campus series, The Deal and The Mistake, you should definitely check them out as well.
