Campus Diaries Book 3: The Charlie Method by Elle Kennedy

 

Campus Diaries Book 3

The third in the steamy, hilarious Campus Diaries series by New York Times bestselling author Elle Kennedy, set in the same world as Off Campus and Briar U.

College senior Charlotte Kingston is living two lives―and she's nailing both of them. By day, she's the perfect sorority girl, a STEM student in biomedical engineering, and the adopted daughter of an overachiever family. At night, she's Charlie: a risk-taking daredevil looking for fun who finds herself chatting on a dating app with two anonymous hotties.

Will Larsen may seem like the breezy boy next door, but his congressman father is a constant thorn in his side. After a scandal hits another Division 1 hockey program, Will's dad is determined to distance his son from it, hiring a journalist to prove how squeaky-clean Will and his team are. Which means the last thing Will wants is for anyone to find out he and his best friend Beckett Dunne―a laidback Aussie shielding secret heartache―sometimes share girls in the bedroom.

When Charlie finally meets them in person and realizes she's been chatting with two gorgeous Briar U hockey players, things get steamy―fast. But all their messy secrets are piling up, and real life soon threatens to shatter the fantasy. With Charlie, Will, and Beckett all coming to terms with what they want and what others want for them, difficult decisions will need to be made.

Especially when lust starts to look a lot like love.

My Review: 4/5 Stars

Charlotte feels like she is living a double life. The one she has to portray to her family, sorority, and just the public in general. The perfect daughter and student. But there is another part of Charlie. The one that likes to have fun and hook up and not be judged by what she likes. Though she never imagined she would swipe right on a hook up app to a profile that has not one but two guys. Could that be something she actually has the courage to experience? Beckett and Will became best friends in a short time. Meeting them in book one, where they were supposed to be rivals because their hockey teams merged was quickly discarded for them the moment they had a conversation and realized that they had a ton in common. Including a time travel obsession. And soon they found themselves doing hook ups together. They have this routine down and truly feel no jealously between them when they are with a girl. Though neither are prepared for Charlie. The girl they meet online is different than the girl they happen to meet on campus. And when they the three of them actually realize who they all are to one another? Well things get interesting. None of them are prepared for one another or the feelings that develop, but it may be the best thing that has ever happened to them. They also all have some person things going on as well. Charlie was adopted and is looking for her biological family and finds out some surprising things. Will is dealing with his political father who just seems to get worse and worse. And Beckett, well we learn more about his past and it makes us understand him a lot more! 

I’ll admit it took me a minute to get into their story and I think it was mostly because of Charlie. I couldn’t wait for Will and Beckett since we knew these guys a bit. And getting to connect with her took me a bit. But once I hit a certain point, I could see how the three of them worked. My favorite parts are the ones where we get our cameos. The Dad Chat. Mike Hollis. Holy bananas I was dying. I love seeing our original guys making cameos now that their kids are at Briar. If you read the series that started off at Briar U, you will appreciate this book for so many of those hilarious moments. Overall, I really ended up enjoying this story! And as usual, I cannot wait for more!
