About the Campus Diaries series

Campus Diaries is Elle Kennedy's spinoff of her bestselling Off-Campus and Briar U series, following a new generation of Briar University hockey players and the women in their orbit. The Graham Effect follows hockey star Beau Graham and Sadie Hall, a pop star's decoy girlfriend hiding out at Briar, as a fake-dating arrangement collides with real feelings. The Dixon Rule turns to another Briar hockey player navigating his own rulebook-breaking romance. The Charlie Method completes the trilogy with a third couple drawn from the same close-knit Briar hockey world, and Love Song moves the timeline forward to the following summer for a standalone romance between Wyatt Graham (Garrett and Hannah's son, and Gigi's twin) and Blake Logan (John Logan and Grace Ivers's daughter) at the characters' family lake house.

As a direct spinoff, Campus Diaries keeps the sharp banter and hockey-team camaraderie that made Off-Campus and Briar U into BookTok hits, while introducing new central couples for readers who've already gone through Garrett, Logan, Dean, Tucker, and the Briar U crew.
