I have read all of the Campus Games books and I even had the chance to ARC read two of them so this novella was such a bittersweet and perfect ending to this series
They're all back together 5 years later for Gabi and Chris' wedding and we get to see a glimpse where all the couples are in their lives.
Rosalie & Grayson:
Their part of the story is that Grayson is finally ready to propose to Rosalie. He's been waiting because Rosalie is taking off in her career and hasn't wanted to steal her spotlight. Rosalie ends up finding the engagement ring but doesn't say anything to Grayson until he figures it out that she knows. He's sad that she found the ring but lets her know that he's proposing soon and can't wait to make her his wife. I just wish we got to read about the proposal. At the end, we see the family tree which shows that they had a little boy together.
“Fine, just make sure Rosie’s home early. I can’t sleep without her,” I admit.
Leila & Aiden:
Their part of the story is that Lelia is 37 weeks pregnant with their second child. Leila's insecurities start to show because Aiden is an NBA superstar and people just completely ignore her. She knows that Aiden loves her but sometimes it's hard for her. Aiden lets her know that his mom has reached out, she's sober, and he wants to know how she would feel about him seeing her. And Leila just wants to give Aiden the family that he deserves and loves him. Her water ends up breaking and she gives birth to their second daughter. At the end, we see the family tree which shows that they have two girls and a boy.
“I’m grateful every day for that spin the bottle game back in college or else I would have never known what true happiness would be like.”
Madeline & Lucas:
Their part of the story lets us see that while they love their life, they have great careers and are building their dream home. But they can't get pregnant and they so desperately want to be parents. They haven't told anyone except their families that they can't have children (so when being asked when they are having kids it hurts them) and while they are happy for their friends, they start to lose hope that they'll get pregnant or get a call from the adoption agency. They had decided a while ago that they were going to adopt and during the wedding, they received the call that there was a baby for them. At the end, we see the family tree which shows that they have a boy and a girl.
“We’re going to have a baby,” he confirms. “You’re going to be a mom.” “And you’re going to be a dad."
Gabriella & Christopher:
Their part of the story is the wedding. Their day is finally here and they're both so nervous and so excited to finally be married since they have loved each other since they were kids. Their wedding is beautiful and Gabi keeps asking Chris if he wants kids and would be okay with it (due to their home life as children), where he lets her know that he would love to have kids with her but he understands if she doesn't (due to their home life as children), and as long as he has her, he's happy. the night after their wedding (the night before they leave for their honeymoon) the group is back together and plays a game of two truths and a lie where Gabi reveals that she is pregnant to Chris. At the end, we see the family tree which shows that they have a girl and a boy.
“I’ll have you any way possible, as long as you’re mine.” “I always have been,” she replies, her eyes shining. “Since I was twelve.” “And I was always yours.”
"The Final Game" is available now and it is the perfect ending to the Campus Game series.
