The Charlie Method: 3 (Campus Diaries, 3)

First of all, the audiobook was great. It was a duet narration. I enjoyed listening to both the MMCs and the FMC's voices. I am pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this book. I think by now it would be safe to say that I simply love the Off campus universe and every character we got to meet so far. I love that the author comes up with so many different types of characters. No two people are similar. Their struggles, their backgrounds and their progress throughout the stories are unique. I loved getting to know Will, Beckett and Charlie. Together they were perfect. Without even one of them their relationship would've felt incomplete. I loved Will and Beckett's friendship. They're like twins who simply understood each other just with one look. I liked that Charlie was a complex character.

Honestly when I heard about the book, I really did not know what to expect cause reverse harem in college hockey was a surprise. This book is different from what i have read before. The book had humour, emotions and great chemistry, And the spiceeeeeee….. The main leads had a lot of layers and I related to some on how sometimes you are not able to show your complete self to the world. Charlie, Will and Beckett understood each other in a way that no one else understood them and for them it was enough. And I like how the book showcased the difficulties of being in a complicated relationship like theirs. Overall the book is a fun read and I would recommend if you are into reverse harem. P.s: Something I quite did not vibe with was the lack of a complete plot. The plot, was there but not fully and lacking something.

THE CHARLIE METHOD By Elle Kennedy College senior Charlotte Kingston is living two lives―and she's nailing both of them. By day, she's the perfect sorority girl, a STEM student in biomedical engineering, and the adopted daughter of an overachiever family. At night, she's Charlie: a risk-taking daredevil looking for fun who finds herself chatting on a dating app with two anonymous hotties. Will Larsen may seem like the breezy boy next door, but his congressman father is a constant thorn in his side. After a scandal hits another Division 1 hockey program, Will's dad is determined to distance his son from it, hiring a journalist to prove how squeaky-clean Will and his team are. Which means the last thing Will wants is for anyone to find out he and his best friend Beckett Dunne―a laidback Aussie shielding secret heartache―sometimes share girls in the bedroom. When Charlie finally meets them in person and realizes she's been chatting with two gorgeous Briar U hockey players, things get steamy―fast. But all their messy secrets are piling up, and real life soon threatens to shatter the fantasy. With Charlie, Will, and Beckett all coming to terms with what they want and what others want for them, difficult decisions will need to be made. Especially when lust starts to look a lot like love. 😊What i liked - ✔ MFM/Online Friends To Lovers/Sports. ✔ Let me start by saying i am not fond of Love Triangle's but it was really fun to read the individual as well as a collective bond form between the characters. ✔ Three very different characters with 3 different vulnerabilities. I loved how they each helped the other with their issues. ✔ Though I liked Will with Charlie but i liked her more with Beckett. ✔ It was fun but sometimes a bit emotional. 🤔What could have been better- ✔ The book could have been a bit shorter. 📚Who Should read : 👶Beginners 💝Romance Lover 💏MFM Romance 🏒Sports Romance 📈My Rating : 3.5/5 Thank you, Elle Kennedy & Hambright PR, for a copy.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 🌶️🌶️🌶️ The Charlie Method is the deliciously daring third installment in Elle Kennedy’s Campus Diaries series—and it might just be my favorite yet. Charlotte (Charlie) is a Korean American senior at Briar U. To the outside world, she’s the model student: focused, studious, and always in control. But beneath the surface? There’s a wild side—fast cars, casual hookups, and a hunger for more than what’s expected of her. When a dating app introduces her to a profile run by two hockey players, her carefully built walls start to crack. One night of fun spirals into something that challenges not only her boundaries, but her very sense of identity. Charlie is whip-smart, a STEM queen with her life planned down to the minute. She’s also adopted, and her journey of self-discovery—balancing her past, her culture, and her need for acceptance—hits hard. Will, the congressman’s son with more heart than his politics suggest, is confident and compassionate, but trapped in his father’s shadow. Beckett, the playboy on the surface, reveals himself to be layered, patient, and achingly vulnerable. Together, their dynamic is messy, intoxicating, and impossible to look away from. This story isn’t just about taboo romance—it’s about self-discovery, acceptance, and the freedom to finally be unapologetically yourself. I laughed out loud, swooned, and blushed my way through this book. The spice? Hot, explorative, and unapologetically bold. The extras—like app chats, fanfic snippets, and hilarious letters—made the world feel so real and gave the story such a fresh, quirky vibe. Elle Kennedy took risks here, and they paid off. If you love hockey romance with an eccentric twist, complex characters, and spice that will leave you grinning like an idiot, The Charlie Method is an absolute must-read. Tropes: Hockey romance Triple POV Secret identity / dating app twist MMF / poly goodness A brilliant MFC in STEM

I enjoyed The Charlie Method and thought it was a good story. It’s the third book in Elle Kennedy’s Campus Diaries series, which shares its setting with Off-Campus and Briar U—useful to know if you’re exploring the connected books. My overall impression was positive, and I’m pleased I picked it up.

For me this wasn’t as good as the first two in the series but I still loved it. I still love the whole Briar U universe and laughed so hard at the return of Hollis and at Dad Chat. Thank you Elle for letting us see the next generation in these books!

A conclusão perfeita pra essa trilogia, as lutas internas do trisal se formando foi muito gostoso de ler. Não tem como não se apaixonar pelo Beckett desde o início, Will deu uma oscilada mas entendi as motivações dele, a narrativa é muito bom. Pode ler sozinho, mas recomendo muito ler os dois primeiros antes (o livro 1 ainda é meu favorito).

Poly plot, nicely written, respectful and fun. Worth reading.
