A review by duchessrin
Game On by Olley White

3.0

It was refreshing reading something light hearted, but this story was too safe.

The characters were so distant from me that when I finished, I didn’t even feel a “book hangover”. I didn’t even feel the “book tipsiness”. Max and Stef were cute together but that’s about it. They’re happy together and what you’re in here for was the progress of their relationship: from friendship to love.

Max didn’t make a big deal about the discovery of his sexual preference. Okay, I know that you shouldn’t really, but hey, you discovered that you’re attracted to your own sex when all this time you thought you were straight. Can’t he like have a stronger reaction or something?

When I reached the end, I was like, “Okay. That was it? No heart-thudding climax? No wondering if they’ll actually end up together? That was it?”

I expected more. I liked the cover, I liked the title, but the story was only okay.

It was sooooo obvious that they’d end up together. The journey to realizing that they were in love with each other was so ordinary. So if you’re looking for a happy story without all the drama and heartbreaks, then this is for you.
