Your ‘Off Campus’ Couples Guide: Who Ends Up Together in the Books?
Now that Elle Kennedy’s Off Campus universe is making its way off the page and onto the small screen, we know there’s going to be a subset of show-only fans. While we do recommend diving into Kennedy’s books — there are a dozen of them at this point — you may want a brief overview of which characters end up together. That’s where Swooon comes in: Not only have we created a nifty guide to the four main couples in Off Campus, but the ones in Kennedy’s several spinoff series, too. Buckle up!
Prime Video’s first season of the hockey romance will be centered on The Deal‘s Hannah Wells (Ella Bright) and Garrett Graham (Belmont Cameli), but we’ll also meet a number of characters that eventually get their own love stories: John Logan (Antonio Cipriano), Dean Di Laurentis (Stephen Kalyn), and John Tucker (Jalen Thomas Brooks). After wrapping up their books, Kennedy expanded the universe with her Briar U quartet, which focuses on other players who shared the ice with the main guys. They’re all interconnected, so there’s a chance they may appear at some point in the show. So, it’s time to study up on every relationship set within the Off Campus universe! (Warning: Book spoilers ahead!)
