Book review:
Learning Curve by Max Monroe was a good read that takes you on a journey of two seemingly opposite college students learning how to navigate multiple situations that change the trajectory of their lives and learn how to deal with them apart and together.

I enjoyed the unlikely friendships, watching them grow. During the difficult situations it was not just the main characters learning how to support one another but also friends and family supporting them and learning to accept the support. The writers did a great job talking about very heavy topics such as alcoholism, changing family dynamics, family secrets, changes in health. They did this in a way that added to the story and not overwhelming to the reader.

I did feel like this book was set up as most first books in a series and brought in a lot of characters and started their stories. At some points it was a little hard to keep track of all of them and not sure some of them were needed or added to the story. When I finished the book I did have two other story lines I wanted more from and was glad to read about the future books coming out.

I gave this book four stars and think it is a very enjoyable, bingeable read that a lot of people can relate to. Life rarely turns out how you planned it to and it’s going to throw you curveballs but those unexpected plans can sometimes bring some of the best people into your life even if you might not see it at the beginning.

Outstanding characters and a fun setting. I loved this one! Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. Monroe's introduction of the action between each character was fantastic. The story flowed well. I stayed up late to read this one.

Wow wow wow. I devoured this book in less than a day! When I read Max Monroe’s “Things I Should’ve Said” I thought that was as good as it gets. NOPE. I was worried how I’d connect to the college students as protagonists, but the depth of their personal stories was everything I wanted. The growth and heartbreak throughout the book was so genuine…. I don’t want to give anything away but I am SO excited to read Blake and Lexi’s story in February. Will Ace and Julia be next?!?! I can only hope!

Drama, angst, and spice. What's not to love?

I read this book in a day because I truly couldn't put it down. Scottie and Finn are both very likable characters. Yes, they acted dramatic and immature at times, but they're only 18. I appreciate that they both went through some personal growth during the story, rather than just starting off as flawless, perfect beings.

My only major criticism is that the last 1/5 of the book seemed unnecessary. The book could've ended before that point. Scottie and Finn were together again as a couple. They had both grown and matured. The primary dramas in both Scottie and Finn's lives reached satisfying conclusions. The last curveball seems to kinda have been thrown in just for the sake of it, and not because the book actually <i>needed</i> it. But putting aside how unnecessary it seemed to me, I'm glad that the authors didn't give the main characters the easy solution to the issue; they have to properly deal with the tough problem thrown at them.

Overall, an enjoyable read that I'd recommend to fans of college romance. I look forward to seeing Blake chase after his dream girl in the next book. 😉
