Elle Kennedy's Final Campus Diaries Shocks Fans with a Bold New Romance Twist!

Elle Kennedy's popular Campus Diaries series is coming to a thrilling end with the release of the final book, The Charlie Method, on February 25, 2025. Known for her steamy hockey romances set at Briar University, Kennedy is stepping away from her typical formula by introducing new dynamics and characters in this highly anticipated finale.

Breaking the mold at Briar U

Elle takes her readers on a new adventure in The Charlie Method, concentrating on three people this time: hockey players Beckett and Will, as well as a fresh, fascinating protagonist named Charlie. Unlike previous novels, which followed single romantic arcs, this book delves into a polyamorous relationship, adding a new layer to the Briar U world.

Senior Korean-American biomedical engineering student Charlie is not just your average overachiever; she’s living a double life, secretly breaking all the rules she outwardly appears to follow. In an interview with TODAY.com, Kennedy shared that readers will connect deeply with Charlie's internal battle for perfection and that her sense of humor will lighten the dramatic love triangle.

A fan-favorite dynamic

Beckett and Will, introduced in The Graham Effect and solidified as fan favorites in The Dixon Rule, return in this final chapter. When Charlie enters their lives, their unbreakable bond develops and a complicated, polyamorous relationship is introduced into the narrative. Kennedy discloses that the trio's dynamic evolved naturally, and the story examines how each character manages their own relationships.

As a nod to longtime fans, Kennedy teases the return of fan-favorite characters like Coach Jensen and Mike Hollis and even hints that "Logan fans" from Off-Campus will get a special treat. Prepare for an epic conclusion that shakes up the Briar U universe like never before.
