Binged 'Off Campus' And Still Need More? Read All The Books In The Briar Universe

If you've finished Prime Video's Off Campus and you're now scrolling through hockey TikTok at 2 a.m., congratulations: you've joined a fandom that has been operating at this level of obsession since 2015. The show is built on Elle Kennedy's Off-Campus series, but the books it draws from are the tip of an iceberg.

Kennedy has spent ten years expanding Briar University into a sprawling, multi-generational romance universe — three full series, a couple of standalones, and another book on the way next year — and most of the show's best characters (Dean, Tucker, Logan, Hannah's friends) already have their own novels. 

So, if you’re tired of watching Off Campus again and again, here's the entire Briar canon, broken down by series, with reading orders, what each book is actually about, and which couples are worth the hype.

The Off-Campus Series (the originals)

This is where it started. Five books following a house of college hockey players at the fictional Briar University and the women who reorganize their lives.

1. The Deal (2015) — Garrett Graham & Hannah Wells

The fake-dating, tutor-needs-help, hockey-captain-meets-music-major book that the entire universe (and the show) is built on. The trope ratio is precise: fake dating, opposites attract, a heroine with real interiority. This is the best one, obviously.

2. The Mistake (2016) — John Logan & Grace Ivers

Logan, Garrett's best friend, has a messy thing for Hannah at the start of the book and has to grow up fast. Meanwhile, Grace is a freshman who refuses to be anyone's rebound. It's a grovel novel — Logan screws up early, then has to earn his way back.

3. The Score (2016) — Dean Di Laurentis & Allie Hayes

After the series, of course we’re obsessed with Dean and Allie, and this is where we finally get their story. Dean is rich, blonde, and unapologetically a playboy; Allie is Hannah's best friend, a theatre kid recovering from a bad breakup. It's a friends-with-benefits setup that becomes more interesting than either of them planned. Dean's arc — the layers under the persona — is the reason the show fans are already obsessed with him.

4. The Goal (2016) — John Tucker & Sabrina James

The quietest of the four roommates falls for a sharp-tongued law-school-bound waitress with an awful home situation and a surprise pregnancy. The tone shifts here — it's the most emotionally serious book in the original run — and Sabrina is, depending on who you ask, the best heroine Kennedy has written.

5. The Legacy (2021) — all four couples

This is technically four novellas in one volume. Three years after graduation: there’s a wedding, a proposal, an elopement, and a surprise pregnancy, split between Garrett/Hannah, Logan/Grace, Dean/Allie, and Tucker/Sabrina. Read it as a long epilogue, not a fifth novel.

The Briar U Series (the spin-off)

1. The Chase (2018) — Summer Di Laurentis & Colin "Fitzy" Fitzgerald

Dean's younger sister transfers to Briar after getting kicked out of Brown and ends up living with a house of hockey players. Fitzy is the tattooed, video-gaming, secretly bookish one — the opposite of every guy Summer has dated. Opposites attract, obviously.

2. The Risk (2019) — Brenna Jensen & Jake Connelly

Brenna is the daughter of Briar's head hockey coach. Jake is Harvard's star forward — i.e., the enemy. Forbidden, rivals-to-lovers, both characters smart and stubborn enough to actually earn the conflict.

3. The Play (2020) — Hunter Davenport & Demi Davis

Hunter is the new team captain trying to get his life together after a rough freshman year (which readers of The Score will remember). He swears off women. Demi has just left a controlling relationship and isn't looking for anything either. This is a great slow burn.

4. The Dare (2020) — Taylor Marsh & Conor Edwards

Taylor, a Briar sorority girl recovering from years of being the unconfident one, gets dared by her mean-girl "sisters" to seduce Conor, the new junior hockey star. Conor finds out and offers to play along. Fake dating again, this time as the wrap on a series — lighter, sweeter, and the lowest-stakes of the four.

The Campus Diaries Series (next generation)

This is where Kennedy got bold. Set roughly twenty years after The Deal, Campus Diaries follows the children of the original couples — now at Briar themselves. If you've watched the show, this is your forward-looking spoiler zone: the next generation includes a Graham, a Tucker, a Connelly, a DiLaurentis, and so on. You don't strictly need to have read the previous twelve books to follow it, but the emotional payoff is significantly bigger if you have.

1. The Graham Effect (2023) — Gigi Graham & Luke Ryder

Garrett and Hannah's daughter is a hockey player herself, gunning for the Olympic women's team, and tired of being known as Garrett Graham's kid. She needs Luke — the grumpy team captain — to train with her. There’s a deal-based plotting, which is a direct callback to The Deal, on purpose.

2. The Dixon Rule (2024) — Diana Dixon & Shane Lindley

A summer fake-relationship setup — both have exes they're trying to make a point to — that turns into something neither expected.

3. The Charlie Method (2025) — Charlotte Kingston, Will Larsen & Beckett Dunne

This is the one that broke new ground for Kennedy: a polyamorous romance. Charlie hooks up with two anonymous strangers on a dating app, both of whom turn out to be hockey players at Briar — and best friends. She decides to keep seeing both of them. It's the most divisive book in the universe; readers either love the dynamic or feel the central trio doesn't quite click.
