Prime Video’s Off Campus series is the only thing anyone can talk about — but before season 2 comes out, fans can get more from the Briar University boys with Elle Kennedy’s books. Kennedy kicked off the Off-Campus book series in 2015 when she published The Deal, which the first season of the TV series is based on. “I would hope that book fans go into it with an open mind. The fandom for this series tends to be positive. They love these characters and they love this world,” Kennedy told Us Weekly exclusively before the Off Campus show premiered in May 2026. “I just came back from a book tour and literally every stop it was just constant excitement.” She added, “I do think that they’re going to love it. I hope that they’re going to go into it knowing some things have to change in an adaptation. But they’re going to get the same feeling that they got when they read the book.” The Deal follows college student Hannah Wells, who promises to tutor hockey captain Garrett Graham and, in turn, they kick off a fake relationship to make her crush jealous. Throughout the book — and the show — fans get introduced to other members of the Briar University hockey team, who have their own stories. Keep scrolling for a complete guide to Kennedy’s Off-Campus book series reading order: What Is the ‘Off-Campus’ Book Series Reading Order? The Deal is the first book in the series, telling the story of Hannah and Graham. It’s followed up by The Mistake, which is John Logan and Grace Ivers’ story. The third book in the series is The Score, telling the story of Allie Hayes and Dean Di Laurentis. The fourth book, The Goal, follows Sabrina James and John Tucker. The fifth book in the series is titled The Legacy, a compilation of four novellas that give readers updates on all four couples featured throughout the Off-Campus series. Is There an ‘Off-Campus’ Spinoff Series? After Kennedy wrapped up her Off-Campus book series, she published the four spinoff novels with all new couples. However, they are interconnected with the OG characters. The Chase follows Dean’s sister, Summer Di Laurentis, and Colin “Fitzy” Fitzgerald. The Risk is a romance following Brenna Jensen, the daughter of the Briar University hockey coach, and Jake Connelly. The third book, The Play, is Hunter Davenport and Demi Davis’ story. The last in the series, titled The Dare, tells the story of Taylor Marsh and Conor Edwards. What Is the ‘Campus Diaries’ Spinoff Series? Kennedy has since written a second spinoff series, featuring the next generation of Briar University students. The Graham Effect follows Hannah and Graham’s daughter, Gigi, and acts as the first book in the series. The Dixon Rule has Gigi’s BFF Diana Dixon as its protagonist, and The Charlie Method follows Charlotte Kingston.
