My rating:
Blurb:If high school has taught mathlete Jade Aaron anything, it's that nerds never get the guy.
So when rock star Lennon Pryor starts pursuing her, It's not rocket science. This doesn't add up.
I mean, sure, he's hot.
And charming.
And a god on the guitar...
But he's also the world's biggest player. Being with him would be a bigger mistake than 2+2=5.
Until graduation night, when a reckless moment leads to a reckless kiss. And now Jade's falling for the one guy destined to break her heart.
Disclaimer: This Entangled Teen Crush book contains one epic party, complete with every high-schoolers-gone-bad shenanigan, and two opposites with nothing in common and nothing to lose...except their hearts.
Each book in the Grad Night series is STANDALONE: * Love in the Friend Zone* Love Between Enemies* Love Beyond Opposites

4.5 stars — OMG, this one is totally my favourite in the series!! I totally ship Lennon and Jade, they were so adorable together! I was hooked right from the prologue, and this one was just adorable and fun from start to finish. I felt all of the tummy butterflies, and it was just a nice way to wrap up what was a fun series.
As with the previous two books, this one takes place in about a 24 hour period, and I still really enjoy that concept. I loved that we got to see those crossover scenes from the previous two books, but from Lennon and Jade’s perspectives. You don’t have to read those books to enjoy this one, but I think it makes for a more fun experience in the end. The area where this one excelled a bit more than the previous two is that I didn’t feel like the middle was as drawn out or repetitive. I loved the experiences that Lennon and Jade had over the course of the night, and I thought their relationship progressed and didn’t have as much back and forth.
Jade was super adorable, and nerdy, and awkward, and passionate and I just adored her and her snort laugh. Probably b/c I also snort laugh. Probably b/c I was pretty good at math as well (though, not like she is). I thought her personal story was interesting as well, even though I occasionally wanted a bit more…I wouldn’t have minded seeing her talk to her Mom at the end. But I loved that through Jade the author tackled the issue of “just because you’re good at something, doesn’t mean that’s what you have to do for life.” As well as the fact that you can excel at more than one thing, but you should pursue the thing that makes you wake up excited about. I think that’s one of the things that I really appreciated about this series as a whole, that while the stories are romances, they also touch on some of the struggles young adults face when approaching the next stage in life.
Lennon…Lennon Lennon Lennon. I had no idea you were going to be the book boy I fell madly in love with. I’m not really a rock star kind of girl, but maybe that’s why Lennon made it through…b/c I loved him despite all that, just as Jade does. I loved how sweet and sensitive he could be. I adored seeing his huge crush on Jade, and being in his head and learning about all the ways she lit up his life. My heart ached for him thinking his Dad meant he wasn’t good enough, and feeling so conflicted about choosing a relationship while also wanting the touring life. I loved how passionate he was about music. I loved that he was a caring friend, and just seemed like a genuinely chill guy. He was also pretty hilarious at times.
And the two of them together were just gold. I got butterflies, and desperately wanted them to figure it out. Of course I also wanted to smack Lennon on occasion, but Liv took care of that for me. And I was so happy with the climax, and then how the rest played out for them.
This one didn’t have a super strong secondary cast either, but I enjoyed the bits we got to see of Lennon with his sister Liv, the very quick glimpses of the parentals, and even Blaise was kind of adorable.
All in all, a kickass end to the series. These two were just my kind of peeps, and I enjoyed seeing them navigate their obstacles to the HEA.
