This book was interesting. I can't say that I loved it but I was definitely hooked while reading though.
The first 15-20% of the book deals with Jack's story while he and Cassie were apart in the previous book. While this was fine and very illuminating, I couldn't help but feel like it was all stuff that should have been in the previous book. But it was nice to get more info about what Jack went through with that witch...I mean Chrystle.
But after Jack got through with his story, I'll admit, I was seriously tempted to put the book down. Jack and Cassie were at a good point. They were happy. I just couldn't imagine what was left of their story. I didn't want to see them break up again, or go through unnecessary drama and angst just to drag the story out. But, I couldn't resist finding out what happened next.
And I thought it was a good story. There were a few pieces that had me pulling my hair out because I thought they were unnecessary but overall, it wasn't bad.
I'm very pleased with the end to Jack & Cassie's story. This is definitely worth reading.

I love Cassie and Jack, there's nothing else I can say; I'll start the 3rd book in a few seconds because this book was as amazing as I expected to be; love their relationship and all the drama that it comes with it.
Actual Rating: 4.5
The Game Changer is a great sequel to The Perfect Game. The Game Changer actually begins the day after Cassie takes Jack back.
This book was great because you are actually told what happened with Jack while he and Cassie were separated and you get to see the events that led up to the epilogue of The Perfect Game.
Jack really redeems himself in this book. I really loved how he fought for Cassie and wouldn't give up on their relationship, no matter how hard things got. This book not only delivered in the romance department, but also had a lot of drama!!!

After reading the first book in the series, The Perfect Game, I was needless to say, kinda pissed at Jack Carter and peeved at Cassie. Now, that doesn't normally bode well when you're mad at the two main characters. I ALMOST didn't read the sequel. I did because Betty raved about it, so thank you Betty -- I'm so glad I read it!
Also, I've tried to keep this review spoiler free for the first book!
The Game Changer starts off with Jack Carter showing up at Cassie's door -- after 6 months! What does she do? What happens with them??
Firstly, I really like how REAL this is. Not everything is sunshine and rainbows because that's not real life. One of my main problems with the first book was how it seemed like Cassie was just forgiveness. This book shows us that is not the case. She actually does have her head screwed on right. I like how it portrayed the trust issues because I think that's a very real issue in relationships where you don't see the other for the majority of the time. Obviously, it's a sensitive topic in Jack and Cassie's case and I like how the author walks us through those nuances. Very true to life. It's not easy and Jack and Cassie has to work at it! I love that it wasn't just all "oh look, everything's fine now!"
I feel like sometimes New Adult gets a bad rep of just being cliche, overdone and over dramatized and oversexed. I think the Game Changer shows what NA means to be. A story of a relationship in that "new adult" age group, of a couple dealing with real issues and how they work through it.
No relationships are easy and Cassie and Jack have obviously been to hell and back. Twice. If you're looking for a quick fix, happily ever after book, then this probably isn't for you. Relationships aren't just magic! You're a team player. You trust. You talk. You are two halves that both need to work to be a whole. There aren't any cliche plot devices in this NA and I so enjoyed reading about Cassie and Jack!
Another aspect of this NA that I very much loved is the focus on Cassie's career. I love that she wants/needs her career. I love that she's not going to drop everything she loves for a man.
I so admired Cassie not giving up her career and wanting to pursue her dreams as well as work to be with Jack too. I also adored the secondary characters! Melissa was the BEST friend a friend could be and omg, Dean. Can we please get a book just for him? I'm in love with Dean. He is the best. I know Jack is Jack effing Carter and all but seriously, Dean. <3! Gram and Gramps? I wanted to hug them! They are amazing.
I very much enjoyed this story - realistic, heartfelt and what I feel like an NA needs to be! Plus, I loved the incorporation of baseball. I am all for sporty romances! I highly recommend you all to read The Perfect Game if you haven't and then this right after! While the Perfect Game may be a little more drama and a little more cliche NA, push through it! And uh, you may hate Jack briefly there, but Game Changer will make it worth it! Really! I loved it.

Mind blown
What a great way to fill in the gaps from the first story. This was a really great sequel. Watching 2 people in live fighting for themselves and each other is what great live stories are made of. This book looks at the dirty parts of celebrity life, it was real and raw.

Loved it! Wasn't what I expected at first, with the first 25% being Jack's telling of what happened in the six months he and Cassie were apart, but I am glad we got that. The remainder is the couple, or mostly Cassie because she fails to communicate, dealing with being in the public eye and dealing with insecurities. This book was well done and reinforces the truth that noone's life is perfect, and you have to work on any relationship regardless of how much love there is. And, as always, COMMUNICATION is key!!!
