All Played Out by Cora Carmack
4.0
Review originally posted on The Slanted Bookshelf.
My Rating: 4 stars
*sigh* I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Cora Carmack write some of the best characters EVER. All Played Out is Torres and Nell’s story, both of whom we briefly meet in All Broke Down.
I adored both these characters. Nell is super driven and very intelligent but with her early graduation coming up she feels like she may have missed out on the “college experience” so she makes a college bucket list. Nell is slightly nerdy and doesn’t always know how to interact with others and this made me REALLY like her because I could definitely relate with a lot of her feelings on not feeling comfortable in the party scene, etc.. I think so far, Nell is the person who’s gone through the most development in all of Cora Carmack’s books and I was so. damn. proud. She pushes outside of her comfort zone and takes chances, even when she’s scared and I couldn’t help but kind of want to be Nell ;)
Torres was pretty darn awesome too and oh so swoon-worthy. Torres is a fun and flirty guy on the outside but he has very serious feelings too that most of his friends don’t seem to notice. I loved how he pushes Nell to experience life but never too far. Torres is sweet and funny and he basically melted my heart into a pile of goo.
All Played Out was a pretty light read and I really didn’t have any complaints (because Cora Carmack’s books ROCK). One thing I will say is that this book felt WAY too short – but don’t they always – and I wish Nell and Torres had more page time as a couple. But don’t worry, there are plenty of swoons ;)
All in all, Cora Carmack did it again and you NEED these books in your life.
