This is the kind of audiobook I love to listen to. The male and female narrators only spoke their parts no matter whose point of view it was. I think it brings the story to life a bit more that way.

As for the story itself, it was pretty hot! This spoke to a polyamorous relationship with touching on all the hesitancy and caution you would realistically see for the three giving it a try. I loved all three characters and rooted for them.

The dad chat group was hilarious. I would have loved more of that. I hated the ex. I wanted see him get taken down a peg. And the extra character, that I don’t want to spoil…my heart went out to his childhood.

These three were fabulous on their own, but together, they are a special kind of magical! All of them are a serious case of “what you see isn’t what’s true” and they have depths, fears, worries, and emotions that they hide, some even from themselves. Charlie is the most obvious split, and she is well aware of it, and embraces it. Will has become so used to doing what he should and not rocking the boat, parts of him are buried so deep. Beck was the surprise, because we knew there was more, but how much more wasn’t clear. Together, they work through it all. Together, they find the way to make it work. Together, they create a relationship specifically tailored to them, their needs, their personalities, and their love <3
p.s. We get some moments with the OG’s and next class, and they made for some absolute hysterical moments 😊 😊 😊

Oh how I love this series! This is one of my most anticipated reads of the year! Charlie, Beckett, and Will have my heart. This was so funny and spicy while still diving in to some deep topics. There was so much going on at all times throughout the book there was never a second I was bored. She really ate and left no crumbs with this one honey. Not to mention all of the call backs her other series! Love love love!!
Take it from me and listen to the Audiobook for this one. The cast is incredible. Their acting was amazing and it was recorded duet style which is my favorite!

First off BIG BIG thank you for the ALC!!! Always appreciate having audiobooks come out alongside paperback and ebook releases. It makes the books so much more accessible and it’s just such a wonderful thing. I love when authors do it. Charlie (Charlotte) is a Senior Serority girl at Brair who’s also looking into finding her “real” (biological) family. She manages the turmoil throughout the book and it’s so sweet and emotional to go along that journey with her. At the same time hockey boys Beckett and Will find her on a dating app, all are looking to have fun without being caught or developing feelings. But of course things don’t go according to plan. It’s a book!!! Of course things happen. But the adventure they embark on is insane!!! It’s emotional, spicy, sweet, tense- ALLLL of the feels. It’s my favorite Elle Kennedy book by far. It’s read out as a proper duet, each actor reads their lines no matter who’s narrator the chapter and it made the spice seem SO MUCH BETTER!!!! It’s really so underrated how good duet style books can be. I absolutely suggest it. I loved all the feels and vibes it brought with it.

Wooooh!!! Elle Kennedy did it once again!! I LOVE The Charlie Method, this story was a great way to end the series. The story was told in different POV and the fact that it was so easy to follow along not once was I lost or bored. Charlotte, Will and Beck together were interesting characters all different personalities and the way they all got along and just simply felt whole was the icing to the cake.

Definitely recommend and add to your TBR if your looking for a good time 💕😏

I just spent the weekend with Charlie, Will and Beckett and I am not disappointed.

I've been eager for this book since book one, because I love Will and Beckett so much (Especially Beckett as a fellow Aussie in America). I loved each of the boys spending time with Charlie, and maybe would have liked to see more of the three of them getting to know each other together. Each had their own stories to tell and I thought it all weaved together very well.

The fanfic. I am dead. Lourdes is my hero.

The audiobook with the three narrators was a lot of fun, I definitely recommend it!

I loved this book! Beckett, Will and Charlotte are all strong individuals who come together (no pun intended). I truly enjoyed meeting the different sides of Charlie/Charlotte, and learning about her life growing up as an adoptee...and coming to terms with everything that goes along with it.

Beckett and Will were each perfect for her, both together and indivudually....exactly what she needed.

The spice was spicing, the romance was romancing and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire book.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

This was such a bittersweet book - I was so excited to read it but so sad to close the Campus Diaries series. Trying to pace myself was hard work 🙈

I loved that the series closed with Beckett and Will getting their story, their friendship was so funny to watch blossom from rivals to besties. There was so much going on in the book with three main characters to follow, but their stories weaved together so well that you felt so surrounded by their story.

I can agree with all the other reviews I’ve seen and say that Coach Hollis was so good! I absolutely love him and it felt nice to have more of his story (I still feel robbed we never got his and Rupi’s story as their own book!).

I really hope we get more of the second generation - the cameos felt like such a tease of where the characters are now. I’m so intrigued to see where Blake’s story goes too!

My own frustration was that I wish we got to see more of the storylines that were introduced towards the latter half of the story - I would have loved to seen more reaction to the relationship from the characters families. I did feel the same way with The Dixon Rule though so it might just be me wishing for the books to last forever 😂

Overall, a lovely round off to trilogy and I’ll be crossing fingers and toes for news of more second generation books (I’ll be waiting patiently). I would also highly recommend the audiobook - the Aussie accent was 😮‍💨

Elle Kennedy can do no wrong but this might be my favorite of all of her books. The chemistry between Charlie, Beck and Will is electrifying. This is not your typical reverse harem novel, rather, it’s a novel about 3 young adults finding their way in the world and in love. Toss in hockey, an international move and an overbearing sorority president and you have the perfect romcom. This book will make you laugh and fall in love, such a great read!

The multi narration made the story SO much better. I highly recommend listening to this as an audio book for the best experience!

A new favorite in this series for me! I am obsessed with the Campus Diaries Series and had so much fun visiting previous characters! I was hooked on this story from the start and could not put it down!

On the outside Charlie is the perfect school/sorority girl, but on the inside she's just trying to find her true self and live life to the fullest. She joins a dating app to find some fun and matches with a profile of two unexpected hotties. Beckett and Will don't realize who they've matched with either and while they are just looking for some fun, they get a whole lot more from Charlie.

I loved how their dynamic worked. It was so effortless for them all and the two guys really brought Charlie to life. They helped her accept herself and face her adversities head on. They were all there for each other in their own ways and they meshed to well. MFM romances aren't typically my thing but Elle Kennedy did such a tasteful job of portraying these characters and I just ate it up! Their chemistry was amazing and the banter had me giggling and kicking my feet!

I was gifted an ALC towards the end of the book so I look forward to going back and listening to the full thing, but what I did listen to was amazing! Teddy Hamilton and Sean Masters always win my heart in a story, especially when doing the Australian accent for Beckett! I've never listened to Persephone Lee and she did amazing as Charlie's character! They all truly brought the story alive.

I could NOT stop listening to this book! The narration is on point for sure and the book... Chef's kiss, fantastic! Love the characters, story line and cameos of characters from Off-campus and BriarU series books also.

Thank you DreamScape Select and NetGalley for the opportunity to review this ARC.

Elle Kennedy did it again. I'm not a fan of why choose books, but I really like this one. The characters were well written and the story was good. And the Dad chat 🥰

The Charlie Method is spicy, chaotic, and so much fun! The third and perfect addition to Elle Kennedy’s Campus Diaries series. Charlie is living a double life, STEM student by day and a no strings attached kind of girl by night. When she starts anonymously chatting with two guys on a dating app, she has no idea they’re actually Will and Beckett, two insanely hot Briar U hockey players, who also happen to share more than just ice time. This book was full of hilarious banter and chemistry. The story also dives into personal identity, family pressure, and figuring out what you really want versus what everyone expects of you. The audiobook narration by Teddy Hamilton, Sean Masters, and Persephone Lee makes it even better with each voice brings so much personality to the characters!

Thank you so much to Dreamscape Select for an early copy of The Charlie Method!💖
Wow! Um so...this was my first Elle Kennedy book and let me say, THE SPICE WENT CRAZY!!! 🔥 This was also my first ever why choose book so there were a lot of things that made this book new and interesting for me BUT at the same time, there things that are tried and true that I know and love, like friends to lovers and enemies to lovers AND hockey romance! 🥰
Also, I'm in LOVE with this audiobook! I'm SO thankful that Dreamscape produced this audiobook the way they did! The fact that there was a cast/trio of narrators and each main character had their own narrator made this audiobook so much easier to follow than if they had used the same male narrator for both male main characters! I was already a little confused at the beginning but would have been way more confused if they hadn't had different voices! 😂
This story was very intriguing because there was a lot of personal growth and finding themselves (the female main character is a sorority girlie who is in STEM and it also adopted?!?!) AND there's also steamy romance that keeps you pulled into the story line!
I'll definitely look into the Elle Kennedy books that I've had on my TBR shelf for forever now!💞

Another home run for Ms. Kennedy! I think this one might be my favorite. The unconventional love story was very informative and exciting. I enjoyed the little glimpses into the past world of Briar. I can’t wait for my daughter to read so we can swoon together!

Elle Kennedy knows how to write a fun book!

Things I loved:
🏒 Will Larsen was so cute! I wish we got to see more of him.
🏒 The fanfiction. That was the best epilogue for it!
🏒 Dad chat
🏒 Charlie’s adoption story
🏒 The Beckett reveal was devastatingggg

Honestly, though, this one fell short for me. I felt like most of the story was about Charlie (which makes sense, she’s the FMC) and a good chunk with Beckett. I didn’t feel like Will was in it enough for me to truly find chemistry between him and Charlie as well. Most of the stuff we were told about them was off-page so I didn’t find myself rooting for them really. I also felt like his story with his dad was underdeveloped and his move to Australia seemed like it was made to fit the plot more than fitting the character. Which stinks because Will was my favorite one! He was sweet with an overprotective side and I wanted more of him!

I thought Charlie’s adoption story was nice and was glad we got a happy ending with her brother but I wish we could have seen her go to Korea and explore her roots more, since it seemed like she hadn’t done that much in her life. Again, the move to Australia only seemed to fit the adventurous side of her but not necessarily the things we were being told throughout the story.

The audiobook was well-done but it made me realize how many chapters end abruptly. I’d be listening and there’d be a decent dialogue line and then it would just be over. It left me feeling unsatisfied.

The spice was good and I was honestly more interested in Blake’s story, the fanfiction story, and Dad Chat than the main story. I really enjoyed those storylines a lot and hope the next book is about Blake and has more Dad Chat.

I liked it enough and liked the vibes enough to give it 3 stars but sadly, the characterization on this one just wasn’t it for me.

This is how you write a book about poly relasionship! Thank you Elle Kennedy 🙂
Such a great book! I was literally blown away.
And the audiobook was awesome! (And yes, Teddy Hamilton was also in it)

The spice is very spicy and the banter was bantering!

The story was so sweet and heartwarming and I loved all three of the maincharcters - and you can't make me choose between them 😉
It's not just a hockey-romance, it's so much more... but it's probably not for everyone, BUT it was definitely for me!

This was my favorite of the series! I binged it in a day! The plot, the characters, THE SPICE! Soo good! The narration was incredible!

Duet narration with Teddy Hamilton AND Sean Masters?! YES PLEASE. I had the chance to read this with my eyeballs but ran so quickly when I had the chance to reread it with my ears. This is some of Elle Kennedy's best work. I loved the characters and their development SO much. My only complaint is that I would prefer MMF, but that is a very personal preference and has nothing to do with the book itself.
