Play Me by Laura Ruby
2.0
Play Me explores the mind of an 18 year-old teenager, Eddy Rochester. Eddy loves movies and is convinced that his online show Riot Grrl 16 will definitely win a spot on the MTV show, The Producers. While he hooks up with his star actress Gina and flirts with his groupies, he unexpectedly falls head over heels for the wonderfully perfect and talented tennis player, Lucinda Dulko.
I really enjoyed reading Play Me in Eddy's point of view. I think Ruby did a great job at portraying the mindset of an 18 year-old boy who thinks he has a shot at everything he's ever wanted - fame, fortune, and girls.
I found Eddy to be kind of geeky (I mean, I have guy friends who loves movies but being able to quote movie lines from every Hitchcock movie...?). I was also a bit disappointed that the story didn't revolve around the "player" side of him. The story mostly focused on Eddy's show, Riot Grrl 16 and his relationship with Lucinda Dulko, which is fine and all but a bit boring for the most part.
