The Goal by Elle Kennedy
2.5
2.6 ⭐️
Spice: 🌶️.5/5
Format: ebook
I’ve been debating this rating for a hot minute because I’m honestly all over the place from this book, because this book was all over the place period. Firstly, I really wasn’t all that interested to read it since Tucker is very rarely in the first three books. And we already have negative feelings towards Sabrina because of Dean. So honestly, this was a book I could’ve done without.
Tuck starts the book coming off as super misogynistic? The way he describes and talks about women in the beginning was kind of gross. And then the rest of the book tries hard to make up for it by making him this sweet, southern mama’s boy which I honestly just didn’t buy. I also didn’t buy his fascination with Sabrina besides being physical. His feelings just seemed rushed and forced to me. Sabrina was straight up aggravating for the entire book. We did not need to wait until 97% into the book for her to finally tell the father of her child that she was living with that she loved him. Her excuses throughout the story just lacked substance.
Also I hate that all the characters we love from previous books were barely in this. Tucker spent so long avoiding the topic of Sabrina that we lost out on that friendship I personally enjoyed seeing in the other three books. I also didn’t appreciate how Dean’s character was written as taking 10 steps forward in his book only to take 20 steps backwards into being such a huge dick in this book. His issue with Sabrina wasn’t even all that substantial for him to talk to her the way he did. I want some justice for my man, Dean, because that was not him in this story. That was his evil twin Pean or something.
Also I can’t get over how cringey it was for Tucker to get so protective over his daughter’s future virginity. And his mom’s behavior towards Sabrina was just insane. Tucker had some cute moments here and there but I couldn’t stand Sabrina at all and everything was just a mess.
