My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hello friends! Are you ready to dive into the latest installment of the Campus Diaries series? I know I am! Today, we’re chatting about The Charlie Method by Elle Kennedy, which just hit the shelves on February 25th. This book is a wonderful mix of romance, humor, and a touch of drama that will keep you hooked from start to finish.

So my friends, let’s talk about Charlotte Kingston, or as she sometimes likes to call herself—Charlie. By day, she’s the perfect sorority girl and a diligent biomedical engineering student, but by night? She transforms into a bit of a calculated risk-taker who’s ready for some fun. Honestly, I found her character incredibly relatable. As someone who also puts pressure on myself to excel in my own educational journey, I connected deeply with her struggle to balance her expectations and her desire for adventure.

Now, here’s where things get interesting! Charlie meets two handsome hockey players, Will and Beckett, on a dating app. Only, She doesn’t know she has met them already! They start chatting anonymously, sharing flirty banter and some steamy secrets. But when she finally meets them in real life, she realizes they’re not just any guys—they’re her classmates! Talk about a plot twist!

Since they met on a dating app and they are in their senior year of college, you might be wondering if this is just a fling for Charlie with two hot hockey boys. Without giving too much away, let me tell you—there’s real depth to this story! As they navigate their feelings with the personal challenges and outside pressures, you’ll find yourself rooting for them to make it work every step of the way. Elle Kennedy knows how to sprinkle in humor and steamy moments that keep the pages turning between the serious moments.

What I Loved About This Book

The dynamics between Charlie, Will, and Beckett are what really make this story shine. Each character has their own baggage—Will is trying to break free from his father’s political shadow, Beckett is dealing with heartache from back home in Australia, and Charlie is navigating her own identity as an overachiever and the feeling of not fitting in with her adopted family. Their interactions are filled with humor and genuine moments that bring depth to their relationships.

As they explore their feelings for each other, we get to see how they each confront societal expectations and personal desires. The chemistry between the trio is electric, but it’s the emotional connections that truly resonate.

Also, if you’re an audiobook fan like me, I highly recommend grabbing the audio version of The Charlie Method. The duet narration is excellent! The narrators bring the character’s voices to life with such authenticity that you feel like you’re right there experiencing the journey with them. Trust me friends, it adds another layer of enjoyment to this already fantastic story.

So grab your favorite snacks, cozy up in your reading nook, and get ready to lose yourself in this captivating story. Whether you’re already a fan of Elle Kennedy or new to her work, I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Happy reading (or listening), friends! Let me know what you think once you’ve picked it up!
