It was great to read more about the characters I've come to love from the first book. There is much tension in this book, a great ending and sweet romance. Loved the relationships between Cassie and Hunter.

Cute but more or less of the same story as Troy High. Cassie really pissed me off in this book, but I liked how both Hunter and Elena grew, so it evened out for me. It's worth a read if you were a fan of Troy High, especially since the book isn't very long.

I really liked it! It felt so good to go back to the universe of Troy High. And Elena, I think you made a great desicion. ;)

Satisfying conclusion. Though I'd love to see Hunter's story

Honestly, this book was over-dramatic for literally no good reason and it bothered me but I do love this couple

I read Troy High several years ago, and I just now got around to reading the sequel. It’s a quick read, but chock full of drama worthy of its Greek inspiration.

The story picks up five months after the ending of the first book, Troy High. Troy and Lacede are somewhat on a ceasefire, Greg and Cassie are finally together and Hunter's arm is still in a sling. His shoulder injury from the homecoming game against Lacede has made Hunter feel useless, like he's nobody without football. Meanwhile, Cassie takes on her first leadership stunt by organizing a beach clean-up and her relationship with Greg is being threatened by Greg's ex-girlfriend. To top it all, Perry and Elena aren't doing so well together.
Now what do I think about Overtime? For one, I like it better than the first book. It's a novella so it's shorter and the pace isn't boring. The characters have improved as well. I like that Cassie stepped up to leadership. She found her voice and confidence to do something for her community. Well, her intentions aren't really for her community alone but also to help Hunter gain his former self and to somehow redeem Troy High's reputation. Although she was hesitant to be a leader, I think she did a very good job.
Another one is Elena Argos. I admire her desire to just be herself. She made the right decision at the end and I like her for that. Independent women ftw!
Unfortunately, Greg is still the same Greg. Clueless and frustrating. I mean, doesn't he realize what Nessa is doing? And he's so blind to see that it affects Cassie! What the heck? If Perry is my least favorite character, Greg is a close second.
Well, I'm glad Shana Norris wrote this ebook sequel novella to Troy High. It's a good follow-up to the story and it delved deeper to some of the characters' personalities. It gave them a good opportunity to redeem themselves since they're not totally likable in the first story. Not really my thing but it's enjoyable enough.

I loved the first book in this series SO much that when I found out there was a sequel I grabbed it immediately. Unfortunately it didn’t grab me the way the first one did 😞
