The Mistake | Elle Kennedy | Off-Campus #2

Rating - 4.5 / 5

Book Blurb 

Logan led me to the book more smoothly, and I connected with him more easily, maybe because of the previous book. Reading this book made me realize that every friend knows their friend's problems, but at a certain point, regardless of how close they are and boys are always afraid to share their problems, no matter how close they are.

Logan needed Grace more than anything else, yet he messed by letting her leave. Logan had a thing for Hannah, then he liked Grace, who was the polar opposite of Hannah. It's felt off in the start and, after realizing that Logan was craving only the love Hannah has for Garrett. The best part was when he recognized his emotions and did not mourn his actions but rather show to Grace that he was worthy of her. Logan was funny, carefree, and talked about what he had in his mind. I also decoded his coding message. It was fun.

I didn't foresee Logan going through hardship, having a terrible upbringing, having to deal with his parent's divorce and the consequences. Now, he's decided to focus on his family after graduation, leaving his dreams behind, and I'm relieved that it hasn't come to that.

Grace is a cool girl, self-assured, supportive, and compassionate, a far difference from the first few chapters. I admire her for not obsessing over someone who has no idea who she is and for growing strong as a result. I appreciate how she insists Logan fulfill all six of her wishes for a single date. It's funny. As much as I like Grace, I don't feel the same way about her as I do about Hannah.

Elle has a powerful grasp of the writing, which allows her to create a swoon-worthy narrative. This novel also has stunning scenes regarding the boys' relationship and their growing closeness with one another. The amusing dialogue has the same effect as it did in the previous book. I'm more fascinated by the author's description of the relationship between closest friends and their varied socioeconomic levels. Even in their heads, they never have a different viewpoint, jealousy, serious mention of it, or an influence on their friendship.

This book is more emotional and filled with conflicting emotions. I'm glad I chose this series and read it all in one sitting.
