The Chase (Briar U, #1)

by Elle Kennedy

It was so great to be Off-Campus again!

The Chase brought me back to Briar, and I absolutely loved being back in that world. Though there are cameos from many of the Off-Campus boys, this was a story introducing us to that "next generation", who we got glimpses of perviously.

Fitzy was a great and grumpy hero. I loved the blend of hockey player, artist, and computer nerd that Kennedy created. We finally got to understand him a bit better, and how his past affected him, and I wholeheartedly approve of him for Summer.

When I first met Summer, she was a force, and don't worry, she still was in this book too, but like Fitz, she was complicated. She struggled with her feelings of inadequacy, when it came to academics, and though her family was nothing short of supportive, she thought herself to be the "dumb one" in a family of intellects.

This romance actually took quite a while to get there, but when it did, it was worth it. I also appreciated that the drama, and there was quite a bit, was between Fitz and Summer once they finally got together. I much prefer that sort of drama.

Another stand out was the friendship between Summer and Brenna. These two were different, but the same, and I thought they were a great pairing. I am really eager to find out more about Brenna's romantic entanglements, and cannot wait for her book.

Overall: A great introduction to the Briar U series.
