All Played Out by Cora Carmack
4.0
Nell DeLuca is on the college fast track. She's graduating early, already has a pretty good internship lined up and is applying to grad school. But when she sees her roommate with her new boyfriend, Nell starts to realize that maybe there's some things she's missed out on - partying, making friends, losing ones virginity, etc. So she does what any studious college student would do -she makes a list. A bucket list of sorts.
Mateo Torres is the class clown so to speak. He's always got jokes for everyone, he's always laughing - basically just plain fun to hang around with. And he's also known to not remain too steady with just one girl. So when he sets his sights on Nell, red flags go up with those around them and suddenly its "watch yourself with him" "be careful with her". But Torres has always done what he wants and he wants Nell.
This series has been fun to read. I love college stories with some jocks thrown in - it's one of the easiest ways to my heart. And I instantly loved these two together. While on the outside it seemed like they had nothing in common, they fit well together. Torres brought Nell out of her shell and pushed her to find herself and what she wanted to do. And Nell focused Torres and helped him see what is actually important in life. It was fun to watch these two try to navigate each other. There was some floundering but what came out was a cutesy story that had me in all smiles.
Next up is Stella's story and I'm pretty sure this one is going to be tough to read with what we know of her so far. But I am ready for it and hope that Carmack is able to release it soon!
