Book 1,007: Outside Looking In (Browerton University #6) – A.J. Truman

Book cover of "Outside Looking In" with Amazon Affiliate linkThis is probably my least favorite of the series. Nathan is Eamonn’s ex (from Out of this World) and not only is he incredibly spoiled and entitled, he’s just a pain in the ass. Liam is an introverted loaner, recently off a breakup from his ex-girlfriend and best friend hooking up. There was a lot of unnecessary drama about Nathan’s mother that is what drove him to New Zealand, but honestly it just all felt so disconnected from the series that the book would’ve stood better on its own and not part of this series.

Book 1,006: Out of This World (Browerton University #5) – A.J. Truman

Book cover of "Out of this World" with Amazon Affiliate linkAs I mentioned in my Out for the Night review, I think this is probably my second favorite of the series. I would say it has to do with the England setting, and that’s some of it, but most of it is just Rafe for me. It also might have something to do with the opening line being a Pride and Prejudice parody 😀

This book takes us away from the Browerton campus (as does the next one, which I had issues with) for a study abroad program. We still get to check in on Coop and Matty, but it’s pretty removed from the rest of the stories.

Book 1,005: Out for the Night (Browerton University #4) – A.J. Truman

Geoff W

Book cover of "Out for the Night" with Amazon Affiliate linkThis book might be my favorite in the series. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s an opposite attract thing or the super nerd and cool-beefy jock-type or something else entirely. It could be that both find confidence outside of what they usually do, but honestly, I’m not sure.

Out for the Night is the story of Coop, the campus rent-a-date who’s never been in love and had a major glow-up from high school, and Matty the quintessential nerd who has a take-no-prisoners attitude when it comes to getting the best grades possible.

Book 1,004: Out of My Mind (Browerton University #3) – A.J. Truman

Book cover of "Out of My Mind" with Amazon Affiliate linkLike the last book, this one felt only loosely connected to the previous book. We meet the protagonist for one of the follow-ups, Out of This World, and we may see a few others from the series, but only tangentially.

Out of My Mind is the story of Mac, out and proud after a harrowing childhood, who attempts to kiss Gideon, deeply closeted with so much internalized homophobia, on their first night at campus and that doesn’t end well. Three years later, they’re set up as roommates when Gideon’s unceremoniously dumped by his girlfriend.

Book 1,003: Out on a Limb (Browerton University #2) – A.J. Truman

Geoff W

Book cover of "Out on a Limb" with Amazon Affiliate linkThis book took a big turn for the series. I’m not sure if they’ll all be quite this disjointed, but I won’t be surprised. We got a brief interaction with Ethan and Greg from book one and a couple of others from later books I think, but no real connectivity as Cameron is a friend of friends.

Out on a Limb is a May/December romance with Cameron, a “can’t be bothered with relationships” graduating and heading to Hollywood senior, and Walker, a recently divorced father of one (Hodie) who’s tied himself to a boring desk job after graduating from Browerton.
