We Need To Talk About OFF CAMPUS

The guys and girls Briar U have officially hit our screens, and you know we had THOUGHTS. In this episode of The Novel Ideas Sisters, we’re diving headfirst into the Amazon Prime adaptation of the Off Campus series by Elle Kennedy — from the casting choices we’re obsessed with to the book changes we’re still emotionally processing.

We’re breaking down the scenes that had us screaming, giggling, and pausing the TV every five seconds, plus all the moments that felt ripped straight from our imaginations with special appearances from the amazing duo Reading At Isaacs (@reading_at_isaacs). Did they do our favourite hockey boys justice? Which casting choices surprised us? And which scenes deserved even MORE screen time?

Expect chaotic sister energy, questionable levels of emotional attachment to fictional hockey players, and plenty of hot takes as we unpack everything about the adaptation that BookTok cannot stop talking about.

SPOILERS: We discuss the Off Campus TV series and books, including spoilers from the book series that have no appeared in the TV show yet. Please keep this in mind and consider skipping to avoid potential spoilers.
