The Who-Man Chronicles: Random Thoughts Inside A Drug/Alcohol Rehab Or The ADH (Look A Shiny Ball) D Dream BookDespite the words on the cover, the pages in no way are a type of a self help rehabilitation guide, informative in any way, nor will you gain knowledge in any way. Instead, if you have ever been diagnosed with ADHD (or not and just went through undetected, as there are more out there than you think), there is absolutely no structure. Author Patrick Miele often changes direction in mid thought, and there are no chapters more than about three pages

Despite the words on the cover, the pages in no way are a type of a self-help rehabilitation guide, informative in any way, nor will you gain knowledge in any way. Instead, if you have ever been diagnosed with ADHD (or not and just went through undetected, as there are more out there than you think), there is absolutely no structure. Author Patrick Miele often changes direction in mid-thought, and there are no chapters more than about three pages long. If you get a "I never thought of that," "Yeah, he's right on there," “I hate it when that happens," or just a chuckle, then his intentions of The Who-Man Chronicles have been achieved. 

The entire memoire was written during a two-year off-and-on stint in drug/alcohol rehabilitation inpatient treatment programs. This was supposed to be his journal/notebook during sessions but he strayed a bit. Two years later these pages were compiled. As a people "observer," Patrick is intrigued by human behavior and some of the idiosyncrasies of society and these rehabs were an observer's utopia. If you don't comprehend the concept of "random" thoughts, you will by the time you finish reading these pages.

About the Author

Patrick Miele was a high school physical education/English teacher in the town of Westford, MA, for 26 years. He coached baseball, wrestling, golf, and volleyball during that time and bartended in various place all over Massachusetts. He ran summer camps and clinics as a form of fundraising for his school. Some of his demons and a major back surgery forced him to early retirement. He was a workaholic so when he early retired lull time was his worst enemy. As a result he really hit the bottle and his physical pain caused him to give up golfing and a Manchester, NH, baseball team he played for. Drinking got heavier with all his spare time and living alone after a recent divorce, which is why he ended up in the rehabs. 

Patrick currently lives in Worcester, MA. He takes an annual golf trip to the mountains of Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire with a dozen of his friends from old baseball/softball teams. His family is from Billerica, MA; he has two sisters, Eva and Betty, and a brother, Bruce. He has a daughter, Amanda, 22 years old, who lives in Bridgewater, MA. 

Patrick went to Worcester State College, received a degree in English and Physical Education, and played baseball and started his bartending journey mistake, sticking with it for almost 40 years, but now he would be like a kid working a candy counter.

LOVED THIS BOOK!!
Format: Kindle
*NO SPOILERS PART OF MY REVIEW* I was eagerly anticipating this book ever since I learned it was coming out! I watched so many TikToks about this series and it made me feel so validated in my obsession for the Off Campus series and the OC couples. Therefore, I could not wait to read The Legacy as soon as it came out. I refreshed my Kindle app and there it was! I read all night, and slept for maybe 1 hour but I finished the book within 12 hours of it being released. I was SO pleased. This book was fabulous. Though it is 4 novellas (one for each couple) Elle Kennedy did an amazing job of weaving the four stories together and making it seamless. I really appreciated the continuity throughout the whole book. Seeing the group's dynamic was a total highlight of this book. I absolutely loved that we got to see their messages in the group chat and see how their friendships have stood the test of time and distance after their college days are over. I LOVED seeing the mentions of other characters in the Briar U/ Off-Campus universe as well. It reminded me of why I love this series so much. One thing, not a real spoiler but the epilogue is only about one couple, not all 4 like I had hoped and expected. I really hope we see more from the Off-Campus/Briar U universe in the future. If you love this series, you will really enjoy this book. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND READING THE WHOLE SERIES. IN ORDER. INCLUDING THIS AMAZING BOOK. ****CAUTION SPOILERS AHEAD**** I appreciated that Elle Kennedy added more to Grace and Logan's story given that a version of it was already published 2 years ago (?). I really liked their story. At first I was a little annoyed that it ended on sort of a cliff hanger, but once I read the whole book, it made sense because other novellas in this book ended the same way. Allie and Dean are my favorite couple in the Off-Campus series, followed by Hannah and Garrett. Allie and Dean's story in this book was great. I really loved getting to see them together again. The main conflict/ problem in their story was surprising to me. Allie's hesitation about engagement, wedding, babies, seemed a little bit uncharacteristic of her. She is SUCH a hopeless romantic, that seeing her be apprehensive about all of those things was confusing for me as a reader and a fan. But overall, I really enjoyed seeing Dean and Allie again. I love Dean so much. He is such an innately good person and so is Allie. I'm sad that there was no "glimpse into the future" for A&D in the epilogue because I would have LOVED to see them start a little family and maybe name their son Beau since Beau Maxwell was such a big part of their story. Sabrina and Tucker's story was also great. I appreciated that the author gave them a conflict in this book that in my opinion was never really resolved/addressed in The Goal. Their communication skills as a couple was beyond bad and frustrating! Tucker's admission to Sabrina that he is unhappy in his job coming as a surprise to Sabrina was bizarre. I enjoyed seeing them as parents to a toddler, so cute! Finally, Hannah and Garrett. The original Off-Campus couple. The people that started it all. I appreciated the premise of their novella, but bringing Garrett's abusive father back into the storyline, but only in a novella was unfair. There is SO SO SO much to say and unpack with regards to that. Shoehorning it into a brief novella was frustrating as a reader because it felt like that needed to be a whole full-length book itself. And Hannah holding off on telling Garrett about the pregnancy was also strange and unlike them. Garrett switching his opinion so quickly about being a dad was way too rushed. I feel like they were a couple who was pretty good at communication so seeing how Hannah handled this situation in this book was surprising. I would have really loved to see Garrett acknowledging that he has a lot of childhood trauma to work through and process in therapy! That would have been some real character development for him. Also, the lack of a wedding for them was upsetting because I feel like they deserve that and as a reader, I would have loved to see thatI!! Lastly, The epilogue was also a bit of a let down as I expected it to be a flash forward for all 4 couples, but it was just for Hannah and Garrett and it wasn't really a flash forward at all. *END OF SPOILERS* READ THIS BOOK!!! THANK YOU ELLE KENNEDY!!!!

Epilogues that left me wanting more
Format: Paperback
Book Review *minor spoilers* 3.5 stars I absolutely ADORE the Off Campus series by Elle Kennedy. Every book was fun, spicy, and dealt with real world problems, but with happy ever afters of course! I was SO excited to read The Legacy. An extended epilogue book dedicated to these characters?? Yes, absolutely love that idea. While it was very fun catching up with our favorite couples and seeing where they're at 2 years after their stories ended in their prospective books, I felt a little let down by most of them. I think my favorite epilogue story of the 4 couples was Grace and Logan. They kicked off the book with a bang. There was humor, emotions, spice, more humor. Plus the elopement!! I only wish we could have seen that part actually play out instead of a cliffhanger and then hearing about it through other characters later on. Dean and Allie. Gosh I loved this couple so much; their book (The Score), was my favorite of the original books. But Allie's character frustrated me so much when she didn’t want to accept Dean's proposal! Come ON girl!! Sabrina and Tucker. Their book was my least favorite of the original books, largely due to the plot focused around her pregnancy. Pregnancy tropes are just not my jam. And again, least favorite epilogue couple. Tucker opening two successful bars in Boston within 2 years - wildly unrealistic. Sabrina graduating Harvard Law while pregnant and raising her daughter; somewhat more realistic. Their story in the epilogue was entertaining, but it just didn’t do it for me. And Garrett and Hannah. My OG favorite couple. I loved their epilogue. I did not love that Hannah was so afraid to tell Garrett about her surprise pregnancy. But her reasoning was *somewhat* understandable. I will read anything I can get my hands on about this couple. But I just wanted MORE. More with the storyline about Garrett going public about his father's abuse. More about Hannah's career. More about G and H being parents - tell me about their kids! At least what are their names! Overall it was a fun way to wrap up the series. While I felt left wanting more, it's safe to say I probably wouldn’t ever be fully satisfied. Can Elle Kennedy please just write endless books about this characters? K, thanks bye!

hot hockey players in love ♥️
Format: Kindle
I have enjoyed this series so much 🥰Seeing all my favorite hockey players and their ladies get their HEA in these 4 novellas just made my heart all gooey 😍. I have truly learned to love these characters and the bromance of the hockey players, as well as the sisterhood of the WAGS. I all so glad Elle Kennedy wrote a continuing series 😘. Although my preference is sweet and clean reads, these spicy romances have captured my heart with their plot development and authentic characters. That being said this book, like the others in the series, have strong language and sexually explicit material. For mature audiences only. If you are ok with that, I highly recommend this series 😉

The Perfect Conclusion!
Format: Kindle
I was a little skeptical starting this one cause I’m not usually a novella person. BIG HOWEVER! This was definitely needed because I was already starting to miss the OG Briar kids! I’m not gonna go into too much detail since this is a spoiler free account, but I’ll just give you my thoughts on each novella: Logan and Grace: this one had me kicking my feet, giggling, and SQUEALING! It was so cute from start to finish and of course there was a little spiciness🤭 no complaints about this one! Dean and Allie: In the words of Jacob Black- “SHE’S NOT SURE WHAT SHE WANTS” and it irritated the hell out of me🙄 She was absolutely infuriating in this one and couldn’t wait for this part to be over🥲 Tucker and Sabrina: There’s started off a bit flat if I’m honest. I mean, they were just kind of. . .boring. Which is a shame cause they’re my favorites out of the whole series!😭 Graham and Hannah: Of course the OGs! Loved their portion of the book, until a certain part happened😐 I feel like Garrett didn’t handle it well, but he made up for it in the end. But this one was also so sweet because it showed how supportive they are to each other in their different careers. This book wasn’t overly spicy because it was more so about life after the college world experience, which is fine. There was still a fair amount of spice and I loved what I was given!😅 Last thing I’ll say about this book: I did not expect to laugh as hard as I did reading this! I mean I was legitimately CACKLING through this entire book!😂 Overall, I really enjoyed this one and loved seeing what our favorite characters were up to after graduation.
