This audio was so addicting and the narrators were absolutely fantastic bringing this story to life.

Each of the three main characters were so easy to fall in love with and root for. I loved how each of them had a journey on their own and then all of them together. I knew I was going to fall in love with Will and Beckett but I also fell in love with Charlie. They each had great character development over the course of the story.

There are some cameos in this story that had me laughing out loud as I listened. I'm so glad I listened to the audiobook instead of eyeball reading this one.

Grateful to have received a complimentary ALC copy to honestly review.

I was really looking forward to another installment of this series from Elle, but while I liked The Charlie Method, I didn't love it. I'm glad that Elle took the jump to something new, and she did a good job, I was just not a fan of how it all played out. I felt like there was a lot that was left open ended and not paid off before the book ended. It was a very unique story, and I will probably reread it again, I was just hoping for a little bit more.

A special thank you to Netgalley, Elle Kennedy, and Dreamscape Select for this ALC in exchange for my honest review.

I will quite literally be an Elle Kennedy stan till the day I die. I was super excited for this story and while it wasn't my favorite in the series, it was a fun jump for Elle and I think she probably enjoyed challenging herself in this story in comparison to what she's previously written. I loved watching her branch out and write new characters that so many of us could relate to in ways that we haven't before.

I love the narrators and I felt like the audio was definitely the way to go on this one for me. Their relationship took a while to take off, but majority of the beginning was spent in a messaging style between the three of them, so I really loved the way that was narrated.

I will recommend this series until the day I die. No joke. But I truly cannot wait to see where she goes next!!

If there's one thing we can count on from Elle Kennedy, it's that she will absolutely deliver when it comes to a hockey romance!

This book follows Charlotte or "Charlie," Will and Beckett. Will and Beckett are hockey players and roommates who have been known to share in the bedroom. Charlie has two sides to her - the preppy, sorority girl named Charlotte and the spicy, libido heavy Charlie.

I loved how Charlie knew both Will and Beckett and had different relationships with each of them before she figured out the connection to the dating app. This was fun to read her put the pieces together, especially since her and Beckett were very much enemies in the beginning. I enjoyed watching their situationship turn into more and how they all began to break down the walls each had up. It was so sweet to see how the guys took their time with Charlie to let her process everything she needed to and give her the space to feel comfortable.

I am Charlie, and Charlie is me. She is my list making, calendar using queen and I loved how similar we were in that sense. I really enjoyed her character, and watching her go from caring about everyone's opinions, to finally saying F*CK it and live the life she wanted to. I also really loved how she discovered who she was (literally) and where she came from, and how supportive her family was of her.

Will and Beckett were pure hockey romance gold. I wasn't expecting both of them to want something other than hockey after college (I think we're all used to hockey MMC's going pro) but it was definitely refreshing to see. They both had their own issues, but I loved how they each grew through the book and opened up.

While the Dixon Rule is still my favorite of the series, this book was a fun read and felt really different (in a good way) for Elle's writing. I still can't believe I get to ARC read for Elle, but I am so appreciative for the ARC copy!

This might be one of my favorite Elle books!! It was so good. She blew this out of the park. I could pf read so many more pages about all of them. I loved reading how they navigated their relationship and the ending!! Its a must read. I need more on these 3 and also cant wait to read whatever else comes next!! One of my favorite mfm. Dont miss out on this fun read!! Do yourself a favor and listen to the audiobook! It was so good, perfect voices and addictive!

This was a fun end to The Campus Diaries series and my first dive into why choose! Elle was hinting about Will and Beckett since the beginning of the series and I’ve been waiting for their story. I did really like this story, but at times I didn’t feel a lot of “romance” between all of the characters. I also felt at times she was leaning more towards one of the MMCs than the other.

While this wasn’t my favorite from Elle Kennedy, it was still enjoyable and I will continue to read anything she writes!

Thank you to the author and Hambright PR for the early copy!

Lots going on in this book! Suspenseful family drama, multiple romantic partners, and so much spice.

I do wish this was a trio that acted like a trio as opposed to two-on-one, but I digress. Spice was like 3.5-4/5 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

(Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the audio ARC in exchange for my honest review.)

Love love love Elle Kennedy! This was definitely her most spicy book (to me) I felt like the heat was turned UP!! If you are looking for a fun flirty read this is definitely the one for you. I love the world that Elle creates and immerses us in! Love!

Went in blind and came out emotional and satisfied. This was my first Elle Kennedy read (despite owning all her books!), and it delivered—emotional, spicy, and full of heart. It reminded me that love doesn’t require blood to feel like family, and Charlotte’s parents were a standout example of unconditional support. Grateful to have read this, and now even more excited to dive into Kennedy’s backlist.

I love a why choose MAINLY in a fantasy genre. But when I heard Elle wrote this trope into this book, I knew she’d do it well…. And she DID NOT DISAPPOINT!

I love the storyline in this book and how Will and Beckett progressed at a pace that Charlie was comfortable in. I truly loved all three characters and their arcs. Charlie’s story deals with the insecurity of being adopted and not wanting to disappoint her family. But also wanting to find out where she’s from. Beckett has a tragic story that I won’t say due to spoilers. And Will deals with the life of a father that is a political figure. His ARC is really on point for the times we face with politics.

I always enjoy the side stories that hint at future books and the chats from the OGs. And giving us ACTUALLY historical fan fiction chapters just killed me.

The Charlie Method was an addictive read! I loved learning all about Charlie, Beckett, and Will and watching them find their path together. It was entertaining, emotional, and beyond sexy.

I loved meeting Charlie. I liked her pursuing her adoptive roots, the feelings it elicited from her, and the conflict she felt. I have always liked Will and Beckett. These two like to hook up with women together, so their pursuit of Charlie was flirty and charming. I felt for Will as he dealt with his father and couldn’t wait to find out what was holding Beckett back. I found myself turning the page and could not wait for them all to get together. They had so many great moments together, fun and sweet ones, and tension-filled ones too. Plus, there was an incredible amount of steam mixed in, seriously! All the steam!!!

I loved that there were three POVs, so we truly got to see each individual's personality and struggles. I liked the humor woven in thanks to Will and Beckett’s teammates and the Dad Chats that were added. I also liked everything happening with Blake Logan and Isaac, I hope there is a spin-off story for them. I liked the mild drama and tension as Beckett, Will, and Charlie came together, how they dealt with their feelings, and dealt with other people as well. It wasn’t anything overly stressful, but there was some nice conflict happening that kept the story moving along. Overall, I thought the pace was good, but it was a long story and sometimes it felt a bit drawn out. I switched back and forth between my Kindle and the audiobook and loved the different narrators.

I have loved the Campus Diaries series and I’m sad to say goodbye. This story was a bit of a rollercoaster at times but I was hooked from the beginning and am really happy that Beckett, Will, and Charlie got there in the end. This was a really great read!

Elle truly never disappoints and she really brought the heat in The Charlie Method!! I ate up Charlie, Will, and Beckett's story.

4.5⭐️ I’m absolutely speechless over how incredible this MFM hockey romance is. I knew I’d love whatever was in store for Will and Beckett, but this totally exceeded my expectations. It hit all the marks!

I felt every ounce of tension and emotion this book brought, and I loved every minute of it. It was the whole package: banter, spice, smart and well-rounded characters, undeniable chemistry, and so much emotion. Honestly, it was everything I didn’t even know I needed. I was completely invested in these characters, individual struggles, subplots…everything. I want to say so much, but I don’t want to spoil anything!

I’m sad to say goodbye to this series. 😥 It was so great being back at Briar U, and the Dad Chat with Garrett, Logan, Dean, Tucker, and the crew—plus a few special guests—had me laughing out loud! 😂

The Charlie Method by Elle Kennedy in quick, rapid-fire thoughts.

-my first why choose romance
-the fact that romance is a duet narration! It simply HAD to be! (Okay, but is there another word for this as there are, in fact, three narrators?)
-this one was all "step aside previous two books in the series. Let me show you how steam is done"... and it did it SO well!
-phenomenal character arcs and stories for all three
-this ending shocked and surprised me in the best way

-Will, Charlie and Beckett
-MFM romance
-audiobook narrated by Teddy Hamilton, Sean Masters and Persephone Lee (stellar performances by all)

In short - this book ruined me, five stars!

Thank you NetGalley, Hambright PR, Dreamscape Select and Elle Kennedy Inc. for the complimentary audio copy to read and review.

RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
SPICE: 🌶️🌶️🌶️

I love Elle Kennedy something fierce and getting another book In the Briar U was a delight. I have wanted Will and Beckett’s story since the first time we met them in Graham Effect, so I was so happy for them to get their HEA together.

Second, this book had so much going on and so many storylines and it felt like a whirlwind, a very interesting whirlwind but a whirlwind all the same.

I did really love Charli and how she interacted with the boys both separately and together and how she had to come to terms with letting both parts of her personality go after the things she really wanted.

Also those boys. I don’t think I could choose a favorite between them and so I’m not going to. They are the definition of teamwork makes the dream work 🫠🫠🫠

Overall, I loved being backing. This world, seeing our faves again and getting more of Elle’s unique blend of humor and spice and found family storytelling!

✨ hockey romance
✨ MFM romance
✨ Golden Retriever Boyfriends
✨ Secret Relationship
✨ Stem focused FMC

5 stars!!

Thank you netgalley for providing this ARC!

I absolutely loved this! I'm in love with the Campus Diaries series as a whole so far

I've been IMPATIENTLY waiting for Will & Beckett's story, and this did NOT disappoint!!

Charlie was a complex character in this book; dealing with adoption, found family, trying to meet everyone else's expectations, deadlines, relationship scrutiny etc. It's a lot for any one person to deal with, so I totally get how she has been feeling pent up and has anxiety attacks. I love how she races to let off some steam, I just wish we would have seen more of Dante. I'd say he was more of a convenient transactional acquaintance, not a friend. Charlie exponentially came out of her shell and it was really awesome seeing such a dynamic character grow.

Will, he is in a way the glue that takes care of and protects everyone. He's kind, strong, playful and wiilling to go to bat for those he loves. His dad though,,, a fuckwit.

Oh sweet, sweet Beckett, I just want to give that man a hug and put him in my pocket.

I loved the ending and how there was a time difference, that way it did not give off "and they lived happily ever after" vibes and we had an actual conflict to deal with. More realistic and added more depth to the story.

Is there an extended epilogue anywhere, because we still didn't get that 3 way scene that we were hinting at.

Elle Kennedy writing a why choose hockey romance.. sign me uppp.

This was so freaking fun. I loved the hockey romance tied in with the STEM aspects as well. I truly loved that each person had their own story and we were able to connect with hem on an individual level. Beckett, Will, and Charlie were so great together. I loved how they overcame some of the problems that they found themselves in but also figured it out together. This was such a good time. I loved the drama and the different cameos that came into play. The spice was spicing in this one too, I loved it so much!

Adorei!!

É muito diferente de qualquer livro que tinha lido da Elle Kennedy, mas ao mesmo tempo é tão familiar.

Este livro conta-nos a história da Charlotte, do Will e do Beckett. E sim, neste livro temos um trisal, MFM.
Confesso que quando soube fiquei mega intrigada e curiosa em saber como a história se ia desenrolar e este livro não me deixou aquém das expectativas.

Temos a Charlotte/ Charlie: uma aluna excelente, a filha perfeita (que tem medo de falhar aos pais adotivos) E uma jovem tão inteligente. Adorei conhece-la.

Depois temos o Will. A tentar parar de viver na sombra do pai, que tão afincadamente quer ditar como Will deve ou não viver a sua vida.

E por fim, o Beckett. Um australiano que é um bolo fofo a recuperar do fim de uma relação.

Beckett e Will gostam de partilhar, e já fazem arranjinhos a 3 há algum tempo, o que eles não sabiam é que a Charlie ia mudar completamente as suas vidas. E que pela primeira vez, não se iriam importar de desenvolver sentimentos.

Gostei muito do romance, foi saudável, foi uma lufada de ar fresco, sem ciúmes, sem inveja, apenas 3 pessoas que se amam muito.

Confesso que estava preocupada e curiosa em como funcionaria a logística de uma relação a 3, e acho que a autora acabou por explicar bem como tudo acontecia ao longo do livro.

Fiquei intrigada. Gostei. Chorei. E ri muitooooooo

Ps.: tivemos aparições dos daddies OG de Off Campus e kinda que tivemos previews do que podem vir a ser os romances dos próximos livros.

Pss.: a cena do jantar em que todos spillam os segredos mais obscuros com a família foi 🤌🏼 *chefs kiss*

Elle Kennedy delivers another addictive romance in "The Campus Diaries" series. Charlotte juggles her double life, perfect sorority girl by day, thrill-seeker by night, until she realizes she’s been flirting with two Briar U hockey players, Will and Beckett. Their connection is sizzling, but secrets threaten to break them apart. The audiobook narration is quite good. Persephone Lee fully embodies Charlotte’s internal struggle, while Teddy Hamilton’s warm, steady delivery makes Will irresistible. Sean Masters brings Beckett’s charm and vulnerability to life beautifully. Their performances elevate the emotions, making this "why choose" romance even more compelling. This audiobook is an engaging, binge-worthy listen with humor, spice, and heartfelt moments.

gonna start off with saying this. to all the people who think Elle Kennedy peaked with Off-Campus and Briar U…PLEASE THINK AGAIN. this series was incredible. and i get the hesitation, i didn’t wanna read this series because i was scared i was gonna miss the OGs of Off-Campus with them being older and focusing on their kid(s) but you WONT. this series is amazing. Elle has found her calling and it IS this little amazing universe that she created within Briar University.

this book was 5 stars through and through. and let me tell you i have never EVER read a book with more than 2 people involved in the couple. this is my first Poly/MFM relationship romance book that i’ve read so i was very nervous and was only expecting to enjoy a spicy fun book. but it was EMOTIONAL, and the plot was amazing! Charlie’s adoption story and finding her biological family member. Will and his dad. Beckett and his parents and just HIS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!!! AHH

the ending was a rollercoaster and i cried which rarely happens for me in books but it was over 500 pages so i got super attached to these characters who are so complex and seeing them graduate had me so sad..amongst other things that made me sad but im not spoiling!

keep it up Elle. you are one of my favorites and sometimes you just speak to me girl! this was truly a masterpiece and thanks for opening me up to a different type of relationship (one that isn’t for me but was very … eye opening 😉) wouldn’t mind a beckett & a will if you get what i’m sayinnnnnn
