Out on Good Behavior

I guess this is New Adult - the MCs are college students in their junior year. This is the third in a series, so I felt like I missed out a little bit on the goings-on before this book started. Specifically, I had a hard time keeping which dude was with which of Frankie's best friends, since they were both pretty generic in this book, but it wasn't that big a deal. I expected the whole Samara being the daughter of a conservative Republican mayor of a Southern town to be a much bigger deal than it ended up being. It's mentioned a few times, mostly in the beginning and some more at the end, but there's no big confrontation or drama resulting, and the book (and series) kind of ends with a bit of a cliffhanger on that front, a little weirdly. The major conflict here was a little bit of one of those “just talk to each other” situations, but that's understandable when the protagonists are like 21. I enjoyed this one a lot!

Edited to add: cover LOVE.
