Playing For Keeps

I have to say I've been reading a lot of fantasy lately, a lot of dark and thriller-type books, and this book was the perfect book to break that pattern.

If you love characters that are real, that have problems, that don't know how to fix the situation they're in without some scheme that seems like it belongs on a 50s sitcom this is the book for you.

I felt for our characters, a lot of us have been passed over for the job, owed someone for one thing or another, or just did not have a direction we wanted to go in and wished we could saunter into town in pajama pants and slippers for ice cream and escapism.

Bryce and Jake don't seem like they would make a good couple, she's driven and has a plan (until the mayor's nephew steps in that is), and he just wants to get out from under his family and become his own man so what are these two going to do?? Fake date of course.

Through ups and downs, I was either crying or laughing, sometimes both with this one, some topics hit so close to home and some made me think about what I'd do, through it all though this is just a really enjoyable book, if I could give it 4.5 stars I would.

Thank you to Entangled and NetGalley for providing a copy of this ebook, I have voluntarily read and reviewed it and all thoughts and opinions are my own.
