rupi and mike are underrated

[Lia Tinoco]

i NEED a hollisrupi novella. give me a hollisrupi novella rn.

[Lexi · Rating 4.25 out of 5]

This was the cutest little bonus story. (Well... except for the part where we get another BJ scene. 😭)

But getting Mike Hollis's POV? Yeah, I didn't know how much I needed that.

Honestly? I have no idea why Elle Kennedy never gave Mike and Rupi at least a novella (100 pages or so). They were one of the most entertaining couples in the entire series, and every tiny glimpse we got of them just made me want more.

It was so wholesome and ridiculously cute seeing what they've been up to, and Mike being absolutely, hopelessly down bad for Rupi never gets old. 🤭💖

Such a sweet little epilogue — and honestly? It left me wanting a whole lot more of them. 🫶🏒✨

This bonus Epilogue is very quick to read right after The Play as it is only 8 pages. It includes both Demi and Hollis' perspectives.

ANYWAYS~

If you liked The Play you should check this out~ ~

Rating: Just enhancing my love for the full-length book, that being said, 💫 5 stars 💫

Honestly, Hollis and Rupi should have gotten their own book, I love them

[Tarynrose · Rating 4 out of 5]

I don't care what anyone says but I still think we needed a book for hollis and rupi. I love them so much they're underrated 🤧

[charisse ♡ · Rating 5 out of 5]

[amal · Rating 3 out of 5]

truly i have never hated anyone like i hate mike and rupi this book was clickbait

[Fanny · Rating 2 out of 5]

Este epilogo extra lo lei hace un tiempo, sin embargo, Goodreads elimino el libro, por lo que volvi a leerlo para volver a escribir esta ( breve ) reseña.

Esta escena es muy muy corta, apenas pasa nada, no obstante, si te gusto The Play estoy segura de que esta escueta lectura te hara pasar unos minutos agradables.

Estuvo ok pese a ser tan superficial.

2.5 Estrellas!

The three stars are for Hunter and Demi. I have zero interest in Hollis and Rupi, in fact I find them very insufferable.

[Belle Whiteherse · Rating 5 out of 5]

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR A HOLLIS AND RUPI POV AHHH

[brittany · Rating 1 out of 5]

i want those 2 minutes of my life back the fuck

[Joelle · Rating 4 out of 5]

That Hollis and Rupi scene- i definitely need a book!

[✩Emma✩ · Rating 4 out of 5]

rupi & hollis <333

[CC · Rating 4 out of 5]

The equivalent to a marvel post credit scene

[Maria Clara · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The fact that this epilogue is about Mike and Rupi’s relationship says everything. They deserved a book. Glad at least I got to see a little bit of their relationship 🥰

An okay ending, I really don't care for Hollis and Rupi but liked the little added bonus of Demi and Hunter
