All Played Out by Cora Carmack

I really liked this book. It was more than solid, it was entertaining and it was lightly compelling. I really enjoyed the characters and their troubles. It was the most intriguing book I've read, but it was still well written. I liked that the heroine wasn't the typical heroine; she was a bit of a nerd (in the academic sense, not the dorky sense). She had been so focused on her studies, that she was starting to feel left out socially, so she begins an adventure of trying out "normal" college experiences. With the help of her roommate/friend she starts going to parties and trying to make new friends. She's not reckless and she's not too timid. It's a perfect mix that allows her character to be really easy to relate to. I liked her relationship with Mateo Torres. They had a lot of hurdles to navigate as they try to figure out what is happening between them. Overall my only complaint, which is quite minor, was that the middle of the plot was a little too lacking in intrigue, that it dragged just a little. However, I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes romance novels.
