Is The Mistake Worth Reading?
Off-Campus #2
by Elle Kennedy
Ada’s Score
The second installment in Elle Kennedy's Off-Campus series follows hockey captain Logan as he tries to win over the level-headed Grace after a humiliating misstep. Kennedy nails the banter and the slow-burn chemistry that made the series a college-romance staple, with dual POV that gives Grace real interiority rather than relegating her to love interest. The redemption arc leans on familiar new-adult beats, and the conflict resolves a touch too tidily, but the emotional payoff lands. It's comfort reading that knows exactly what it is.
“Logan's grovel is genuinely satisfying, and Grace has more spine than most heroines in this lane. The chemistry carries it.”

Ada’s reservations
The central conflict gets resolved with a speed that undercuts its weight — Grace forgives a real betrayal faster than the setup earns, flattening the redemption Kennedy spent chapters building.
