I love his frustration as he tries to figure her out. Fitzy, the introverted, silent type, has his whole world turned upside down when he can’t get enough of the extroverted, outgoing Summer Heyward Di-Laurentis. These two couldn’t be more perfect for each other, but in ways that neither of them could reconcile at first. She is a wonderful, loyal, creative bombshell that can befriend anyone who doesn’t piss her off first. Summer Heyward Di-Laurentis is not stupid. She thinks that because her brain is wired differently and processes knowledge in a different way, she’s stupid. We couldn’t have possibly learned about it before now, because Summer doesn’t brag about it. One of the most interesting things we learned about Summer is that she has a severe learning disability. It doesn’t define what she has to give to those that give her a chance to be more. Yes, she’s outgoing and honest to a fault, but that’s just how she relates to the world. The moment you read from her perspective in The Chase, you learn just how wrong about her you’ve been this whole time.
She came off as an opinionated, spoiled rich girl who normally gets whatever she wants in The Score. I could not be more thrilled that Elle had all kinds of hidden depths to Summer. We met her in The Score (AKA Dean and Allie’s book), and while she was entertaining as a guest character in Dean’s story, I didn’t see what lay beneath her surface. Summer is a force to be reckoned with, and I have to admit, I wasn’t sure I was going to like her much. Moving on, there wouldn’t be much of a chase in The Chase without Summer Heyward Di-Laurentis. Fitzy’s strong, silent type is a welcome change from all the extroverts he’s surrounded with on the regular. While it’s hilarious to watch Hollis strut his stuff and share his sexual shenanigans with anyone who will listen, it’s also wonderful to meet a jock who doesn’t see the need to share his every thought with the world. For every kid out there who is lacing up skates hoping to someday wear an NHL jersey in an arena full of fans, there’s a kid who is playing video games and dreaming of the day he’ll be able to make his own, create his own world and make all the rules.įitzy is also different as he’s not the bragging type. He has a plan for his future and the NHL doesn’t really factor in. Hockey might be beloved to Fitz, but it’s not his entire world. While we love the Garretts and the Deans and, well, every single other guy on the team, it’s nice to read about a guy that loves hockey, but also loves other things, too. Fitzy just seemed different than so many of the other hockey guys. I didn’t have time to do a re-read of all the Off Campus books before The Chase release day, but I distinctly remember reading The Goal and hoping that someday, somehow, Elle Kennedy would want to tell this story.
