Fitz and Summer are so good together! They balance each other out and help each other strengthen their weaknesses! They’re utterly adorable🥹✨Slight Spoiler✨Summer has ADHD and as someone who also has a learning disability (how do you spell dyslexic again?😂😅) I found her incredibly relatable! I’ve thought and felt a lot of Summers inner monologue and I’ve struggled like her as well it’s incredibly comforting reading about someone who’s going through something similar to yourself. And I feel like I haven’t read many (or maybe any?) other books that highlight a learning disability before (if anyones got any recommendations pls drop them below!) and I personally thought Elle Kennedy wrote in such a positive way🥹Anyway I found Summer annoying at first but once I got past her surface level attributes, she was funny and sassy! Mixed with all the sarcasm and on point comebacks I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Chase!Also Fitz😍 Fitz is hot, not just in looks cause yum, but he’s nerdy, he likes art and reading and video games and once he gets over being a dick (come on man you’ve got enough in your pants) he’s so perfect for Summer and like looks after her and helps her with studying and says cute things and just all round melts my heart🥹 also he deserves better parents than that my poor baby😢I have one tiny small problem, I don’t like love triangles and my bean Hunter deserved so much better! Also, okay I guess it’s 2 tiny small problems, I don’t think Fitz would’ve opened up the Summer like that, he went from 0 to 100 too quick in my personal opinion, I think it would’ve be over several conversations with Summer idk does anyone else agree?😅For lovers of:- Sports romance- Hockey romance- Grumpy x sunshine- Feminism- Love triangle (sorry peeps it’s in there and makes my heart hurt for my lil bean Hunter🥹 (also Shy it wasn’t a spoiler it’s in the blurb!!))- Learning disability rep🤭✨

check triggers🤍did i want to bang summer and fitz head together and just tell them to be together already and stop fighting it? YES I DID. did i fall even more in love with tall, quiet, mysterious, protective, tatted up fitz? ABSOLUTELY I DID! i fell for him in the off campus series, because i can never resist a hot nerd.. but his own book?! swoon.summer and brenna’s are hilarious together, i love them so much! their friendship makes me so happy! i’m sad there wasn’t an epilogue, i wanted more—feel so attached to them both! we love a character development story, and summer’s delivered, she’s a bad ass we love her!

The push and pull between Summer and Fitz is entertaining and so sweet at times, we see a girl that wears her vulnerability on her sleeve and yet is determined to remain strong and true to her heart, and a guy had to learn to hide behind closed walls in order to survive. The romance between these two is emotional, has its ups and downs but through it all they grown and help make the other better, more open and confident. Their banter is hilarious at times, their chemistry is off the charts and there is so much sexual tension between them making it so steamy that it is hard to put the book down without reading one more page, every time.

I have had this book on my TBR for years and I don't know why I never picked up it earlier because I can remember having such a reading depression after finishing The Goal. I loved being thrown back into this world and seeing previous characters from the other series. I really had to think back and jog my memory. I thought the storyline was super fun and a really easy romance but I loved the underlying issue at hand with the shaming of the stereotypical blonde and made to feel stupid or creating an issue out of nothing. Summer's character embraced everything women and I think she really brought forth the women of today with her feministic attitude and I loved it. She's definitely the type of person I would hang out with anyway and I seem qualities of myself in her which was laughable. Fitz really developed in the story, more so than Summer with his growth mindset on how he needed to open up and become more vulnerable to someone else. I really appreciated that and it made me go see him as a genuine character rather than the douche I saw at the beginning of the book.The most important bit is that I cannot believe Leeds got mentioned!! I live around the bloody corner. It made my absolute day!

Dean Di Lauretis' little sister Summer has been kicked out of Brown for burning down her sorority and her father has pulled some strings to get her into Briar University. Unfortunately for Summer her sorority sisters refuse to let her join at Briar, citing her bad behaviour, so she is suddenly homeless just before term starts.Dean arranges for her to take his room at the townhouse he used to share with Hollis, Hunter and Fitzy which is great, if Summer hadn't been dissed by Fitzy and retaliated by kissing Hunter at a New Years' Eve party - awkward!Colin Fitzpatrick has spent most of his childhood and all of his adult life as a pawn in his parents' acrimonious divorce, he daren't tell anyone how he actually feels for fear it will be used as a weapon in a divorce battle that has never truly ended.Summer may be the daughter of two successful lawyers and obscenely wealthy by anyone's standards but that doesn't mean she's had it easy. A form of ADHD means she finds studying difficult and writing essays a herculean feat, when the rest of your family are hot-shot lawyers it can be devastating when you are failing a fashion course for the written work. Self-esteem issues aside, Summer is Colin's opposite: outspoken where he is reserved, gregarious where he is a loner, fashion to his jock. Yet neither of them can deny their attraction.I liked this, but I didn't love it. It was funny and sweet and sexy, yet I'll be honest, three hours after reading the book I couldn't remember the heroine's name.
