He’s adventurous, completely charming and doesn’t bat an eyelash at fucking in semi-public spaces (he particularly enjoys sex in the living room of the house he shares with his hockey team-mates and it doesn’t matter who else is around really). He rarely goes back for seconds – the world of Briar College is his sexual buffet. He’s an exhibitionist ladies man who has an aversion to wearing shirts (he has an excellent chest so this is no hardship for onlookers). A sad, pathetic loser who goes to a bar and forces his friend to participate in a Twilight book club.ĭean has been a favourite from the beginning. “Are you seriously dissecting Twilight right now?” Edward wants her on a biological level, right?” Is it a bullshit theory some horndog dreamed up so he could justify why he’s attracted to his mother or some shit? Or is there actually a biological reason why we’re drawn to certain people? Like goddamn Twilight.

“Do you think it happens in real life? Pheromones and all that crap. “Okay, so you know how Bella’s blood is extra special? Like how it gives Edward a raging boner every time he’s around her?” (Honestly, the discussion between Dean and Beau about Twilight was hilarious. I love the dual (first person, present tense) POV which gives me lots of time in the heads of both main characters – Dean Heyward-Di Laurentis and Allie Hayes – as well as the writing style which gives me loads of snappy dialogue and banter, not just between the main characters, but within the wider group of friends as well. (*I had to think pretty hard but I think there’s something in the reviewer handbook that says if you can’t find something to gripe about you’re doing it wrong.)

When I thought about it*, I could come up with a couple of little niggles and I think it ended a bit abruptly, but basically I just loved it. The actual reading part however was pretty much full of happy book sighs, big grins, actual laughter and even a few tears (but I won’t tell why). (I decided to combat this depression by re-reading The Deal.

And then I had a sad because it was over. I started the book that night, was forced to actually sleep, and then do adulting the next day but I finished it in less than 24 hours all told. Your Off-Campus series is one of the best going around at the moment and I basically inhale them at the earliest opportunity. I begged Jane shamelessly for an early copy of The Score (she has connections).
