Summary: There's nothing quite like the Briar U boys who are back in action and proving that not only do book boyfriends do it better, but that shows written by women for women are always going to hit different. Hannah and Garrett bring their deal to a conclusion, leaving them both with murky, unresolved feelings for each other. In this episode of Femme & Furious, I'm diving into how the Off Campus series handles female pleasure, intimacy, agency, and autonomy, and the discrepancies between healthy and toxic masculinity.
