Play with Me by Anna Katmore

I don't really have much to say about this book. Its synopsis sounded more interesting than the actual book. It had potential, but sadly, failed. I think one of the bigger issues of Play with Me is that it's rushed. The book is only a hundred pages or so, usually that's around the length of a novella. Also, I didn't particularly grow attached to any of the characters. Also! The main character, Lisa I found to be annoying as heck. She's so clingy to Tony. It's like, no wonder he prefers the other girl! If they've known each other since kindergarten and he has yet to make a move, doesn't that tell you something? She's annoyingly clingy, has tendencies to act bratty, thinks she's the center of Tony's universe and feels the need to rub it in that she's a "perfect extra small" that line really pissed me off. I was going to give this book (it's so short, I'm not even sure if I can call it that) a 6/10 stars, but thinking back on it, that seems too generous. I'm going to give Play with Me 5/10 stars. It was rushed, not giving enough time to make the story very interesting or give the reader a chance to grow attached to the characters. The protagonist I disliked more than I liked and the love story wasn't very good. Sorry, Anna, but this book somewhat fell flat in my eyes. I actually only really bought it because it was free... This definitely isn't anywhere on my recommendations list. I don't plan on reading the rest of the books. Maybe if they were free but I don't feel like paying money for books that I would most likely not enjoy. Plus, I'd rather use the time I'd use reading them for more useful things such as reading better (in my eyes) books, blogging, writing or doing pretty much anything else. 


Here's the synopsis:


Ryan Hunter’s parties are legend. And tonight she’s going to be there.

Lisa Matthews anticipates the return of her best friend and only love since kindergarten kindle reversefrom soccer camp. But when Tony finally shows up, his mind is more focused on another girl. And worse, she’s a soccer player. Fighting for the attention Lisa craves, she’s just a hairbreadth away from making a very stupid decision. But when extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures, she’s prepared to play ball to get her man.

The tryouts are hell, the first match ends bloody, and the morning after the selection party she wakes up in the worst place possible—in the arms of the captain of the soccer team. The hottest guy in school… Ryan Hunter.
