‘Off-Campus’ TV Show Review: Is the Book Adaptation Worth Watching?

from Booksmart · host Missing Perspectives

The original hockey romance has finally gotten its own TV adaptation. In this episode, Sunny and Allie review episodes 1-7 of Prime Video's new 'Off Campus' series, based on the best-selling novels by Elle Kennedy. But unlike their prior discussions on book adaptations, only Allie has read the books the adaptation is based on (and trust me, she's read them enough for the both of us).How does this adaptation stack up for a fan who has read the series back to front more times than she should admit, versus a booklover who hasn't yet entered the world of 'Off Campus' and is learning about its characters for the first time through the TV show?Together, they attempt to answer the age-old question: Is it preferable to read the book before or after watching its screen adaptation?Proceed with caution as this episode contains minor spoilers for the television series.You can purchase Elle Kennedy’s sports romances online with QBD Books using the following link: https://www.qbd.com.au/search/?q=Elle+Kennedy&utm_source=Booksmartpod&utm_medium=MPPodcast&utm_campaign=BSMPElleKennedy&utm_id=BooksmartElleKennedy
