Now that I've read the Chase I've recaught the bug.Our main characters, Fitzy and Summer are just as amusing as our OGs of Briar University. They have everything for a romance lover, college romance, sexy athletes and sassy heroines. I can easily say that The Deal, The Mistake, The Goal and The Score are my favourite series. I'm a little disappointed with how long it's taken me to pick up this book saying how much I loved Elle Kennedy's Off Campus series. I ended up skimming alot of her readings to get thru them quickly. She doesn't know how to narrate ANYTHING without yelling most of her dialogue. I wanted to reach into the book and shake her. Summer goes on the date anyway only to dump Hunter half way thru and return to Fitz AGAIN. All the while refusing to commit himself when she keeps demanding a reason why.

She finally is about to go on a date with Hunter when Fitz corners Summer in her room demanding she not go. Summer has a perfectly sweet guy, Hunter, who wants a relationship with her and treats her with caring and respect but she keeps ditching him for the human yo-you, Fitz, who can't figure out what he wants. Also, she gave Fitz a BJ in the men's locker room after which he promises to find her later for a 'talk' then does a disappearing act by leaving town and then avoiding her for DAYS: STRIKE THREE.

Then Fitz tells Summer he thinks about her all the time and can't get her out of his head, then drives off leaving her standing alone without a coat wearing a crop top and skinny jeans at night in a bar parking lot: STRIKE TWO. I'm sorry, but if a guy tells me he thinks about being with me all the time then runs fast and far: STRIKE ONE. Gullible idiot that Summer is she falls for it, going back to Fitz, only to have him run and avoid her AGAIN. So he does/says something to draw her back in. She gives up on him and turns to Hunter and Fitz can't stand it. Then they spend the rest of the book perpetrating the emotional equivalent of a yo yo. Then she over hears him dissing her while he tries to convince himself he doesn't want her so she kisses someone else in front of him at midnight instead of him and he wonders why. We have Summer who falls in love with Fitz in the beginning. If you feel like spending 10 hours being frustrated by a repetitive theme that keeps happening over and over, this is the book for you. 23 chapters back and forth.ENOUGH ALREADY
