*4.25 Stars

This was such a sweet and real romance! I loved every minute and just how rich everything was. It's a more realistic romance than many in the genre - in an oh-so-good way.

I really liked and enjoyed Andi's character. She was stubborn and very relatable, especially for someone like me who isn't especially "girly."

Kellan was a pleasure and I liked getting inside his head. He is a bit thick but loveable anyway. The way that this was all from his perspective worked really well with the story, and I feel like Keyes did an excellent job of capturing the tone of a male voice without being crude or juvenile.

I also liked how well-rounded this was, overall. Kellan doesn't just go to class - his class subjects blend into the story like they would in real life, inspiring new ways of looking at things going on in his life. His friends aren't just friends, supporting him - they are multi-dimensional people with their own lives going on, but not in a distracting way. For those of us who read the first book, Undecided, we get little updates on what Crosbie and Nora are up to in subtle and occasional mentions.

The "second-chance" aspect, as well as the "chilhood friends reunited" aspect, are really well done. I really liked the way Kellan and Andi's history is shared with us and the way he is trying to figure out how and why he feels the way he does, and how to talk to her. It felt very genuine and there was the perfect amount of showing without too much "telling."

Overall, I really, really liked this! I know there may not be anymore in this series, but I wouldn't mind getting a Dane or Choo story eventually!

4.5 AMAZING and Hysterical Stars!

Whenever I read a Julianna Keyes novel I know that I am going to have a smile on my face for most of the novel. I also know that there will be an amazing hero who will win me over and a heroine who will be his match in every way. This is EXACTLY what happened while reading Undeclared. I absolutely LOVED this book and did not want it to end. I could not get enough of Kellan and Andi and the whole Burnham family!

Kellan and Andi have history. After being lifelong neighbors, bestfriends and lovers (for one magical summer) it's all gone to hell. Despite being in love with him her whole life, Andi no longer speaks to him and after two years of the silent treatment, she is now a student at Burnham University. What happens when the Big Man on Campus faces a situation he's never been in before - the possibility of a life without Andi as she moves on from him and life in his big shadow. Will he realize what was in front of him all along?

"Because I can't wait for you. I cant always be waiting."

"Waiting around like an idiot for you to see what's been in front of you your whole life. But you just keep looking for something better."

I absolutely LOVED this book. I can freely admit I outright needed this. I wanted to revisit Kellan, Crosbie, Nora and the rest of the gang! I loved their comradery and the perfect chemistry between them all. I also loved the humor. Good Lord. I was probably outright laughing my behind off for a good majority of this novel. The sarcasm and the one-line quips. I could not get enough!! I also loved that the novel was completely told from Kellan's perspective but Ms. Keyes so aptly described Andi's emotions to a T. It was perfectly done without (officially) being dual perspective but in a way it kind of was. I felt Andi's pain and frustration through Kellan's eyes and at times I wanted to beat him over the head right along with her. I felt the emotions of both protagonists even though the novel was only told through one. It was perfectly done!

While I would have loved an epilogue and maybe some resolution of Kellan's career plans, this was an amazing book and I seriously can not wait for Ms. Keyes' next book. She has been on my automatic one-click list for a very long time. Bravo ~ 4.5 stars! ~Ratula

I would like to thank NetGalley and Weapenry for an advanced copy of this book for an advanced review.

A fantastic author. Another amazing story in this series. Excellent writing and very entertaining. So hard to put down.

“Undeclared”, the second book in the Burnham College series features Kellan the ultimate manwhore at Burnham and his childhood friend, Andi. Andi and Kellan have major history - their friendship started when they were 5 years old. There is definite chemistry between them but there is also a whole world of broken hearts and unresolved feelings that they need to weed through.

I did not get a chance to read the first book in this series but I was able to fit the pieces and backstory together rather easily and the book had great dialogue between the group of friends and they did end up in some very funny situations. I would definitely say this is a good read.

I received a copy of this book through Net Galley for my honest review.

This was my first book from Julianna Keys and I'm sure it won't be my last. The story is well written and I really liked Andi and Kellan. I specially liked the fact that we see their story from his POV. This is a standalone but it'd be better to read Undecided prior to this one.

Kellan McVey is Burnham College’s most prolific athlete, partier, and ladies’ man—and that’s just how he likes it. Returning to reign for his third year, he wants nothing to change. Then Andrea Walsh shows up.

It wasn’t too long ago that Andi and Kellan were lifelong friends, mortal enemies, and, for one hot summer, more. Then Kellan left and Andi stayed behind.

Kellan thought he’d moved past that last summer’s heartbreak, but with Andi sitting next to him in class, befriending his friends, and battling for the same once-in-a-lifetime job opportunity, he’s starting to remember why he hated her…and why he loved her.

Kellan has a long list of reasons that falling for Andi again is a terrible idea, though every new moment together challenges that theory. But Andi’s all too familiar with Kellan’s love ’em and leave ’em approach—and she’s found someone else to get serious about.

Burnham’s campus king has never had to fight for a girl, but if he wants Andi to give him another chance, he’ll have to do the one thing he’s never had the nerve to do: admit it.

I love Kellan!! I felt so sorry for him and I might be the only one who does but part of me just wanted to hug him!! This is a book that I had a bunch of mixed feelings about. The sex in this was OTT but in this case I thought it lent to the storyline. Some authors throw sex in just to throw it in with no purpose whatsoever but in this book, I felt that it worked to help with the story. She did something that made me read it and not put down, which I would have in anything else.

Andi is a complicated person. She grew up next door to Kellan and the summer before he left for college they had a sex-filled summer. He didn't want to go away to college a virgin and they decided to see each other that summer and Kellan fell for Andi. It takes Andi a couple of years to get a scholarship to college and when she gets one, it's to the college that Kellan's attending. Wonder of wonders, she acts like she doesn't know him and that ticks him off. Which in turn, also makes him go after her even harder.

This was an awesome, quick read and I will read the next book when it comes out. I have a new author that I've added to my list of TBR list. The only caution was that the language and sexual content was excessive at times and that may have taken away from the storyline sometimes.

I was given a copy of this ARC from the publisher on Netgalley for a honest review. All of the above comments are my express opinions and no one else's.

ARC received from publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed Kellan and Andrea's story. Kellan, in the first book in the series, faces an unfortunate predicament that forces him to rethink his life choices. In this book, Kellan 2.0 as he's taken to calling it, has a chance at reclaiming a love he thought was lost to him, only if he's brave enough to reach for it.

I like a good second chance romance and I really appreciated that Andrea did not let Kellan off the hook so easily but really made him work for it. The premise felt really fresh and real because Kellan's desire to not settle too soon but rather his wanting to "live" - well, that's a very common and human desire.

However, my favorite part of the book was not the romance but rather the bromance - Crosbie, Kellan, Dane, and Choo made for a hilarious combination (I hope Dane and Choo, er, Gary get their own books). Their friendship felt real and genuine and made for some of the funniest scenes in the book.

All in all, a really entertaining read.

Undeclared is a second chance NA romance featuring a hero of questionable moral fiber and a pragmatic heroine. It is also the follow up book to Undecided (which is a really great book in its own right). While it is not necessary to read Undecided to enjoy and understand this book, I would recommend reading it first as I think it gives a good foundation of how Kellan's character spent his first few years of college. Plus, the story of Crosby and Nora should not be missed!

I liked Kellan. Yes, he had spent several years in a disturbing spiral down the slippery slope of dubious sexual behavior, but ultimately he did end up realizing how empty and dangerous this type of behavior can be. I also really felt that he cared deeply for Andi and had cared deeply for her for most of his life. He did treat her shabbily many times but he was still growing up basically. I think the mistakes that Kellan made were understandable as he tried to figure out life and relationships as the book progressed. Basically, his body was much more fully developed than his mind and interpersonal skills. If it walks like a man and talks like a man it might actually just be a confused boy pretending to be a man.

Andi was also well written and likable. She was true to herself and didn't try and change herself to please anyone or pretend to be someone other than who she was. She was a tough young woman who tried to stick to her principles and tried to navigate adulthood in a mature manner.

I also liked that this was not an instalove romance. I'm always a little bit skeptical of a storyline when a promiscuous man suddenly becomes a mate for life monogamist five minutes after he meets his love interest. (Honestly, if a man insists he loves you after gazing at your adoringly for a few minutes you should smile and walk backwards out the door avoiding all eye contact.)

Undeclared is a funny and well paced novel with just enough drama to keep it interesting. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Romance or NA novels.

Undecided was a complete gem, earning a spot as one of my top reads of 2016; so naturally, I was giddy at the thought of jumping back into campus life at Burnham College.

Let me just get it over with and put this out there - Kellan is no Crosbie. Not even close.

Kellan, Crosbie’s best friend and Nora’s old roommate, was the quintessential frat guy, in book one. Can you say total douchebag? He checked the requisite boxes for every cliché, so there’s no point in avoiding the obvious; he started this story off with a huge disadvantage. Nothing insurmountable by any means, but he had a lot to prove before I would ever even consider joining Team Kellan. We’ve all seen it done countless times before, a manwhore changing his spots for the right girl, and I figured if anyone could pull it off, it might be Julianna Keyes. She did deliver Crosbie after all.

It breaks my heart even having to admit this, but UNDECLARED was no where near as special to me as Crosbie and Nora’s story. I love a second chance romance, it’s probably my favorite storyline in this genre, and for one reason in particular - the history between the couple usually cements a deeper connection. A stronger bond. Something more than just lust. Not so much for Kellan and Andi.

Even though we're told little tidbits of their shared past - growing up together as best friends and worst enemies and ultimately spending a few months as “summer sex friends" - it didn't translate to the two people standing in front of me. I never felt the intensity between Kellan and Andi on a deeper level and the fact that there are zero meaningful conversations between them, only made it worse. That's my take, at least. I wanted more. More personality. More passion. More depth. More of that spark I felt in UNDECIDED.

This might not be my favorite book, but I’m almost positive it won’t be my last from this author.

I enjoyed this book and found all the characters developed. This installment of the series focuses on Kellan and his 3rd yr in College and his childhood friend Andie.
He left her back in their hometown 2yrs prior when he left for college and she was no longer speaking to him, but one quick trip home before his Jr Yr they become reaquainted before he leaves again. Now he's back at school and wants to change his reputation after an "incident" the previous year. He is also still thinking about Andie and there conversation. However, the last thing he expects is to find her at his school.......

You get to watch him grow up, man up and learn, take responsibility..... The story was easy to follow and get into. I only wish the ending was less anti-climatic. But other than that I probably look up the 1st book and read the rest of the series.

Interesting story and really likeable characters! Totally worth the read

When I first met Kellan in Undecided, I wasn't really sure if I liked him or not. IHe had good traits but there were things I didn't like about him. I'm so glad this author took a chance and gave Kellan his own story to tell because it was fantastic! There were parts that had me laughing out loud - some of the dialog between Kellan and his friends was absolutely hilarious. I really enjoyed the relationships he had with his friends and their witty banter. Kellan wasn't anything like I was expecting - he was sensitive and unsure of himself at times. I loved that this book was told entirely from Kellans POV - I think that is what made this story work so well, even though I didn't always agree with his actions, it was easy to understand why he made the decisions he did. This was a fun, mostly light, steamy and funny story and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a good college romance! I really hope this author continues this series because I would love to read more about some of the side characters. I loved this book so much - it's a top pick of 2017 for me and I can't wait to re-read it.

2.5 - I am not really sure why I didn't like it. But, a lot of things just didn't sit right with me.

3.5 Stars

This book was a good, but uncomfortable read. It's all Kellan's fault. The thoughts in that guy's head are enough to make most girls cringe. I got the reasoning behind his choices. They were pretty understandable -- but understanding doesn't mean liking. No girl wants to go through what Andi went through because of a guy. As a woman, I couldn't empathize with Kellan. Kellan was an idiot. I could only empathize with what I was imagining Andi was going through.

Which brings me to my next thought about Undeclared. Being in Kellan's brain was insightful, but I would have really liked to know what was going on in Andi's mind. I liked her character and how Kellan described her. I felt like she would have been more of an inspiring character to hear their love story through. I wanted to know what she thought about Kellan's past couple of years at college. I wanted to know what continued to draw her to him besides his obvious good looks.

My favorite part of Undeclared had to be when Kellan is knocked off his throne. I loved seeing him finally discovering what was most important in life. His friends and family were so pivotal in that, and that was very cool. I liked their support of him, no matter how stupid he acted. I absolutely love the friendships in this series.

Despite my frustrations with Kellan, I still liked reading Undeclared. I'm a fan of Julianna Keyes' writing and her Burnham College series. I'm happy I got to get to know Kellan better after meeting him in Undecided. I'm hoping this series will have many more books to come featuring Choo, Dane, and Marcela.

If there was ever a New Adult College Sports Guys Romance Writers Hall of Fame, Julianna Keyes should be a member along with Elle Kennedy, Jen Frederick, and Kristen Callihan. I have to admit that I had some doubts she could follow her amazing first NA, Undecided with anything as fun and fresh but rest assured, Kellan and Andi's story was a very worthy follow-up.

Although Kellan's realization about his feelings for Andi was a lot like Crosbie and Nora's awakening, there is nothing formulaic about this refreshingly realistic and relatable romance. I love a good chase, and Kellan's bumbling pursuit of Andi with assists by his guy crew was so much fun. The side characters - Crosbie, Nora, Marcela, Nate, Dane, and (my favorite) Choo - were so hilarious and sweet that I was seriously disappointed by the lack of an epilogue wrapping up their lives. I really hope that the author is not done with her Burnham College series.

I know a lot of people didn't really like Kellan in the first book, but I had a soft spot for him, so I was curious to see how his story would turn out.

Turns out, all it took was a genuine friend from his past to bring him to his senses (and knees). Andrea (Andi) grew up next door to Kellan. They had that wonderful childhood where you were always together everyday, playing, fighting, getting into trouble, etc. No matter what happened between them, they always made up and were friends. Of course, there was that secret longtime crush Andi had brewing for Kellan too. But he was apparently unaware of it......played it off like he didn't know....and maybe that was because he didn't want to ruin a good friendship which I understand. (I totally connected with this part because my neighborhood was the same way.....everyone came out everyday to play or whatever.....got called in for dinner....and then back out to play if not school days.....and yes, there might have been a boy next door that I crushed on all through my childhood, but that was then, this is now.....he recently moved back in with his Mom who is still living next door to my Mom.....ummmmm nope......LOL!)

There are some sparks between them the summer before Kellan leaves for college. They get into a bit of a tiff at the end of that summer......BUT! Then he leaves. Yep, just leaves, no goodbyes. Of course, that's was Andi's choice too. And they don't talk again for two years!!! TWO YEARS PEOPLE!!

And then guess who's starting at Kellan's college.....that's right, Andi.

I won't go any further, you'll have to read it to see what happens. I will say I give Andi a ton of credit for putting up with him....I would have dumped his ass to the curb years ago!! But, true love, and all that.....haha! And we also have glimpses of Crosbie and Nora from Undecided throughout the book which was great!

This was a cute second chance - grew up together love story. There were some serious laugh out loud moments and I really fell in love with Kellan and Andi.

Kellan and Andi have been next door neighbors, arch nemeses, best friends and eventually "more", but that all abruptly ended 2 years ago. Without any warning Andi stopped talking to Kellan and he never figured out why. Soon after, Kellan went away to college while Andi stayed local...until now!!!! Celebrating the start of a new school year with his friends who does Kellan hapoen to spot at a party?!!?? Andi!!! Andi has accept a scholarship to Kellan's college and now the ever elusive ladies man has to figure out how to fight his secret feelings toward the only girl he's ever fallen for--and at the same time figure out why she left him in the first place!!!

I seriously enjoyed this book!! I know it's the second book in this series, but I had no trouble jumping into the series here. In saying that, I am absolutely going to read the first book (Undecided) in the Burnham College series because I liked Undeclared so much!! I though Julianna Keyes did a great job with keeping the storyline exciting without any lulls-- love that! I loved Andi and Kellan's familiar back and forth banter that only comes with a life long friendship. Undeclared is a 4.5 star book that I highly recommend everyone read! I REALLY hope there will be future installment in the Burnham College series (fingers crossed)!!

There's always trepidation reading the follow up book to one you really liked. Was it a fluke? Did the author just have that one great idea? Is the sequel going to be the same thing all over again? Well breathe easy, this is just as good as [book:Undecided|31143173], it might even be better.

Kellen McVey was the douchebag from the first book. The one who had sex with Nora in a closet AND DIDN'T EVEN REMEMBER. The one who got his comeuppance when he found he had caught gonorrhoea and had to contact sixty-three woman to let them know and apologise.

As he starts his third year at Burnham College Kellen has decided to start over, Kellen 2.0. He won't have random sex with a woman without knowing her name. He won't just have random hook-ups full-stop. Then he finds out that his childhood best friend, Andi, the girl he both loved and hated has come to Burnham, two years after him because she had to work to save for college. Before Kellen came to Burnham he and Andi had a few weeks of hot and heavy, then for no reason that he can fathom she stopped talking to him for two years, she practically broke his heart. Now she is at his college and she wants them to pretend not to know each other.

Kellen is ridiculously good looking. Women throw themselves at his feet, he succeeds at everything he tries. he is the golden boy. But even in his third year he hasn't declared a major, and he's avoiding his guidance counsellor.


Andi has been in love with Kellen her entire life and everyone in their little town of Avilla knows it, everyone except Kellen. Every time she takes a chance on Kellen and trusts him with her heart he stomps on her trust, she might be at Burnham College but she won't be foolish enough to trust him again. Because this time he might break it for good.

This novel was such fun to read. We get such an insight into why Kellen behaved the way he did and how difficult it is to change when everyone around you just sees what they want to see. Even when he does make the effort to know a girl it blows up in his face. Juliana Keyes has made an unsympathetic character so relatable and so lost. Nora and Crosbie are still around, still in love and Crosbie gives Kellen some good advice, which he is too scared to take.

Done well YA/NA can be such a great genre and Juliana Keyes has done this so well. I thoroughly enjoyed reading every page of this, the shaming lists on the bathroom walls, the film classes, the tiki torches, the bake sale. All of it.

If you like Sarina Bowen's The Ivy Years then you'll enjoy Burnham College. Highly recommended.

This book was on the young side. Its my first book by the author and appears to be #2 in a series but it can also stand alone. Its about college studdents and I loved that most of it actually happens at college, in dorms, at frat parties, and college bars. So many of the college young adult books go away from the college setting and I loved that this book is 100% college.

It is a story about Killiam, this guy that has slept around and then he got a sexual disease. It stops him in his tracks when he then has to track the people he dated and contact him and he finds a list in the mens bathroom. At the time it has 67 names and while he has not been adding names, someone else is and the list is in the 80's.

Andi and K grew up together, neighbors, best friends and lovers. Andi has always loved him but he has always wanted something else. Until he sees Andi at his college. But she wants to meet and date other guys. And that really bugs him. This book is really about him growing up and deciding who and what he wants.

It was really well done and actually was deep and made me really think about lists and who we are and what we want out of life. It is only in K's voice. We never hear from Andi and it really made it much more of a personal journey for K by having only his thoughts and feelinsg in this story.
