Have they wasted three years just being friends?Terri Murphy was the down-to-earth twin; she wasn’t prone to dramatics, or exaggeration and she’d always been proud of her ability to take care of herself. That is, until an attack on campus leaves her feeling shattered and vulnerable. With everyone else heading off for Spring Break, the only person that’s left is the only one she wants around … around anyway, because Terri has been in love with Jet Chang since they were both freshmen and the feeling has stuck with her through three years of college and his apparent disinterest in anything but friendship.
Hating to see his best friend so downtrodden, Jet decides to stay on campus rather than go home for Spring Break as planned and sets about trying to help Terri put herself back together and distracting her with fun-filled days out. However, when he looks away from his laptop and the career as an author he’s trying to carve out for himself, he notices things about Terri that he hadn’t before. Now, can he convince her that his sudden romantic interest has nothing to do with trying to build up her confidence after the attack?

Friend (What Happens on Campus Series Book 3)
By: M.L. Sparrow
5 out of 5 stars
The story Friend (What Happens on Campus Series Book 3) by M.L. Sparrow is a new adult/contemporary romance. It grabbed my attention from the beginning, and I found myself turning pages wanting to know what would happen next. I enjoyed reading about the characters of Terri Murphy and Jet Chang. Terri is a young woman who has survived an attack that has left her with feelings and fears that she never thought she would have. Terri is fiercely independent and doesn’t always ask for help, even when she needs it. Terri also has feelings for her best friend Jet. Jet is concerned about his best friend and wants to help her. He has the dream of becoming an author. He also realizes that there is a romantic interest between him and Terri. What does the future hold for Terri and Jet? Even if there is a risk to their current friendship will they take a chance and start a relationship? Read this book to find out. This story was an emotional read. When reading about Terri’s character and how she is feeling is hard at times. There are issues that may be triggers to some. I felt that the story was written in such a way that you can’t help but be touched and moved by Terri’s experiences. I enjoyed reading about many of the additional characters that interact with Terri and Jet. I grew to care about Terri with every chapter that I read and wanted her to find happiness. This is an amazing book to read and one I would highly recommend.
Friend was a good 4 star read and book three in the What Happens on Campus series.
This is Terri and Jet’s story.
We start with Terri having a traumatizing event that gives her PTSD. It’s been a couple of weeks and she is still struggling with going out in public and her self esteem.
Jet is Terri’s best friend and knows that she has been through alot and he doesn’t want to push her. He wants to show her that he’s there for her when she’s ready to talk. When Jet starts to get her out doing things, she starts to feel a little better.
Terri has always had feelings for Jet, and going through what she did has opened up both of their eyes as to what is in front of them. Can they come together and finally have what they both have been ignoring for so long?
This was an emotional read that pulled me right in. We get dual POV which I really enjoyed, I like getting both sides of the story. Overall I really enjoyed this read and I look forward to reading more from this author. 1-click and get started today.
I will start this by saying I love this series. Each book will grab you from the beginning and still won’t let you up in the end! M.L. Sparrow weaves such beautiful stories and each one gets better and better! My heart went out to Terri who is a woman who was attacked and she feels vulnerable in its aftermath. She is fiercely independent and never wants to ask for help unless its severely needed. Jet her her BF who she’s secretly in love with. Jet recognizes the interest between the two of them but is worried about the risks it’ll take on their friendship if something happens badly between them. Between the attack and the feelings, what will they do?
Such a unique and original read. Love this series and this book especially!
Friend is the third book in M.L. Sparrow’s What Happens on Campus series and please do not try to read it as a standalone, you will feel lost so do yourself a favour and start from the beginning! If you do enjoy college series then you will enjoy the whole series, I promise!
Finally Terri and Jet are getting their story! It has been a long time coming, sort of … I love the stories of from friends to lovers, the journey from being simply friends and becoming more, the anxiety that comes along, the doubts, and especially when we talk about the young ones who are just finding out what and who they want … I loved the care Jet took with Terri after the attack that left her paralyzed with fear and anxiety, how he helped her to find herself again … and convinces her that he truly has feeling for her and it is not just something to make her feel better!
I am looking forward to the next story in the series; hopefully it will be Payton’s!
Friend : A College Romance is the third book in the What Happens on Campus series by M L Sparrow. It was so happy to get caught up with this cast of characters. It’s been awhile since I read the last book and I enjoyed getting caught up with everyone.
Terri and Jet finally have their story and it was so worth the wait. Terri has been through so much with her twin sister, then she was attacked which caused her to withdraw from normal life. Thankfully she had her best friend Jet there to help her.
Jet’s life is a pretty good one. He has friends and it seems like he is a fairly successful self published author. I feel like it hurt him to see Terri because a shell of her former self and as her best friend he decided he was going to be there for her no matter what and then he finally opens his eyes.
I have loved each of these books but I think Terri is my favorite of the group and her story is my favorite to date. She is a good person and pays it forward whenever the opportunity arises.
I’m looking forward to the next book, think Payton’s story will be just as good as Terri’s.

5 Out of 5 Stars
Friend: A College Romance is the third book in What Happens on Campus series written by Ms. Sparrow. When Terri is traumatized, it is up to Jet to try to pick up the pieces and help her to feel like her old self. Can Jet help her get her confidence back?
The writing is well done and the characters are unique. Ms. Sparrow’s a wonderful storyteller. I did find that some of the pages were a little wordy, leading away from the actual story. I enjoyed the story just the same and would highly recommend reading this book, as well as the previous ones in the series!
Friend: A College Romance (What Happens on Campus book 3) by M.L Sparrow is sadly the last book in this series. It is a college romance and has all the angst and drama that you expect from these stories. This series is well written and the characters are complex with all their flaws at that age. Reading these books in order is a must or you will not understand what is going on.
Terri Murphy is still reeling from a terrible and horrible trauma. As she struggles Jet is by her side and the two could not be more perfectly matched but he seemed to only want a friendship with her but is that all she wants? As Jet helps her navigate her way through all the sorrow and helps her put all the pieces together again he realises that there could be more for them. Now all he has to do is convince her.
I look forward to seeing what will come next from M.L.
Friend by ML Sparrow is book three of the What Happens on Campus series. This book may be difficult for some readers as it deals with sensitive subjects but it was very well written. This book is a friends to lovers college romance and it has it all. There’s friendship, drama, emotion and so much more.
Terri is the reliable, stable twin. She’s never really had to ask for help and now that she has to, it’s not as easy as one would think. To help herself move on from the experience she wants so badly to move past, she decides to stay back from spring break but so does Jet, her best friend. He really wants to help her anyway he can. As he begins spending more time with her, he starts noticing things that he didn’t see before. He starts seeing Terri in a new light. Will he be able to convince Terri that his feelings are real and not just a way to make her feel better?
This was such a good book. I was pulled into the story and couldn’t put it down until I was done! It was so well written and the characters were fully developed. I felt they learned a lot about themselves as the story progressed, taking us on their journey. I highly recommend!
Friend is the third book that I have read by this author and it was just as good as the first two in this series. It is a friends to lovers sports romance that had me turning page after page to find out what was happening next. Terri is your everyday down to earth college student who has her life together. That is until she is attacked one day and her world begins to shatter. Her shining light seems to be her best friend Jet who is doing everything he can to get her our of this funk. She’s always seen him as more than a friend but hes always had her strictly in the friend zone! All that changes when he starts to see her in a different light and the lines between them become blurred.
This story was an awesome one and I am looking forward to reading more by this author! I I would recommend to anyone that likes friends to lovers romances!
This is the third book in the “College Romance” series and it has been a long time since I read the others in this series.
FRIEND is a “friends to more” story that has a decent flow to it and is easy to follow along as it moves along. As with the other stories in the series there are situations which are all too real.
The characters were well developed and the story moved on a decent timeline.
Friend, a College Romance is the third book in the What Happens on Campus series by M.L. Sparrow. This is a well written friends to lover’s romance that brought so much like drama, love, and so much more. What I have loved about this is the author did not disappoint is strong characters with a story line that sucks you in from beginning to the end. Terri, dealing with a trauma doesn’t ask for help, EVER. So she decided to stay back when the rest go home for Spring Break, and so does her Jet that she has had a crush on for years. Jet had only ever showed Teri he wanted to be her friend and after spending time together things start to change. Can these two risk a friendship to explore if there is more and can Terri get past the past and love? You must read to find out more!!I highly recommend this five star read!
I have been waiting for this story since Flirt. Friend by M.L. Sparrow was a wonderful story about two best friends who finally give in to their feeling for one another. Terri and Jet first met freshmen year and have watched their friends fall in love.
When Terri was attacked one night coming home, everything changes in her life even her relationship with Jet. While they stay behind for Spring Break, Jet makes a point to not let Terri stay cooped up in her room. With these two alone, their relationship starts to change.
Wonderful group of friends happy, great writing and very real events that can happen while in college. If you love college romance books, you need to read this series.
Friend by M.L. Sparrow is Book 3 in the series. I’m not sure if maybe I should’ve read the others before reading this book but, I don’t think that is the case. The main characters I. This book are Jet and Terri. Terri was attacked one night when she was out alone. She was usually with her friend Jet but that night he was home. Luckily for her Ben and his dog Jester were there and scared off the attacker but unfortunately it wasn’t soon enough. However, Terri feels Jester and Ben saved her life.
Jet and Terri have been friends….best friends for years. All this time, Terri has had a big crush on Jet but he never knew and they were just friends. Finally during spring break, most of the crew goes home except, you guessed it…Terri and Jet stayed on campus. Jet spends a lot of time helping Terri overcome her fear and keep her busy. While they are out Jet finally realizes he has real feeling for her. Feelings that are more then friendship. Will Terri take Jet seriously or will she think he’s just doing this because of what happened?
I thought this book was well written but, it couldn’t keep my attention. I feel like the pages were drawn out and found myself putting my kindle down and taking a break after every chapter.
Friend: A College Romance by M.L. Sparrow is the third book in the What Happens on Campus series. This is a book about friendship developing into more. Terri and Jet have been friends for three years. Terri has been through a traumatic attack which has changed her from being the steadfast and down-to-earth person everyone has relied on. During spring break Jet decides to spend the week with her to help her get back on her feet. This week is the turning point for the two of them. I have always enjoyed books by this author. Her characters are relatable and interesting. Also, her stories read quickly and often leaving me wanting more. This series is the same. The books can be read as standalones but I believe are most likely better enjoyed read in order. I am looking forward to reading more from M.L. Sparrow in the future.
Friend: A College Romance is the 3rd book in the What Happens on Campus series by ML Sparrow. I didn’t read book 1, and think this could be enjoyed as a stand alone book. However, it’s going to make you want to read the rest! The characters overlap in the stories, and the timeline, however, there is enough detail to enjoy on it’s own. I love the characters in the book because they are realistic. The feelings and emotions and relationships they have are those you might have had as a college student. I highly recommend this book and series.
This is the story of Terri and Jet finally realizing they could be great together. They have been best friends for years, but the feelings were one sided. Terri has been crushing on Jet since day 1, but he was totally clueless until a friend pointed it out. Then it was all he could do to NOT think of them as a couple. It’s like it just clicked one day and great things happened. I don’t want to give it away, so just go read it.
I really enjoyed this novel it kept me on the edge of my seat and swooning at the same time. It had enough suspense in it that it kept me eager to turn the pages. I loved the character’s Terri really gripped my heart after her ordeal it really touched my heart was so emotional. This certainly a must read and I can’t wait to read more.
Friend: A College Romance (What Happens On Campus Book 3) is a fantastic friends to lovers romance novel by M.L. Sparrow. I had read and loved the first two books in this series Player and Flirt and have been looking forward to Terri and Jet’s story for a long time. I’m so glad to say that it was so worth the wait as this is my favourite book in the series so far (although I have to say I can’t wait to read Payton and Dawson’s story).
Terri and Jet have been best friends for 3 years during which Terri has had a major crush on Jet but has accepted that they will be nothing more than best friends. When Terri is subjected to a vicious sexual assault she pushes everyone, including Jet away. A chance comment from a friend saying that Terri is in love with Jet has him totally re-evaluating their friendship. Deciding that he want to have a relationship with Terri he sets out to prove that he’s the perfect man for Terri. As much as this is what Terri has always wanted to hear, she’s in a very vulnerable state and tries to push Jet away.
This is a very powerful friends to lovers romance. The author does a fantastic job of dealing with the aftermath of a sexual assault. This book has all the feels and my heart broke for Terri (and Jet) on many occasions.
I loved the dynamic between these two characters, their total devotion to each other is heartwarming. If there was ever 2 friends who deserved a HEA then it’s these 2. But will they get their HEA? The path to true love never runs smooth and these 2 are no exception.
I have absolutely loved this series so far and Friend is my favourite…at the moment!
Friend is the third novel in the What Happens on Campus series by M. L. Sparrow. This is my fourth novel by this author.
Terri is the twin that is proud to be able to take care of herself but her life changes when she gets attacked on campus. She decides to stay home for Spring Break.
Her best friend Jet stays on campus with her to fill her days with fun and to help her heal. For three years, he has paid no interest to her feelings for him. While struggling to be a writer, he starts to see Terri in a new light. Can he convince her his feelings are real?
This is my favorites of the series so far. It was a little hard to read because of the topic and Terri’s attack but I am so grateful that the author including this as part of the plot because it is something that does happen a lot on college grounds and sometimes it feels like it gets swept under the rug with not much being done.
I hope we get more of the series because I love college romances.
Finally Terri and Jet get their story! She has been after him for soo long but has been friend zoned. He gets a wake up call and thing start looking up. The only problem is she is skittish after her attack. She isn’t sure she can handle more with him. Wish granted —but not.
This is a lovely story. I enjoyed catching up with these two as well as the rest of the crew. Seeing Terri figuring out how to move forward along with how Riley and Cam are doing is wonderful. My fav part of the whole story is Ben. I loved how she didn’t shy away from him even before he protected her. Then to help him and Jester out was so nice!
This is a tough story but it’s not my fav in the series. It seems a little drawn out and not drawn out enough. I would think she would be changed after the attack that would take time and not only a few months. Just me thinking and probably incorrectly since I have not been in those shoes.
This is my third in third in this series. I really love all these characters. Maybe Dawson and Payton could be the fourth? The stories are a little harder/edgier and easily keep my interest. Another solid story from this author.
Friend: A College Romance by M.L. Sparrow
Four Star
Friend: A College Romance is the third book in the What Happens on Campus Series by M.L. Sparrow. This friends to lovers college romance is a perfect addition to this series. This book can be read as a standalone but the whole series is great and I recommend you read it in order. This story does contain violence and the aftermath of an attack, which I think dealt with these issues in a responsible way. Terri Murphy is a strong woman overcoming a violent attack, and when her best friend Jet Chang stays with her on spring break. They finally start seeing each other in a new light. This book had me hooked on the very first page and I couldn’t put it down until the last. The write was smooth and the characters were true to life. This is a great series,and I can’t wait to read what M.L. has in store for us next.
