I was really nervous on how this was all going to play out. Falling for your boyfriends best friend is kind of NO. I wont go into too many details because of spoilers, but I honestly believe things could have gotten a whole lot uglier than they did. In the same token, you can’t help who you are attracted to or love, and the realistic nature of the situation was handled extremely well. And maturely.Kat’s head was such an entertaining and interesting place to be in. Her thoughts are so random; shooting from one place to another rapidly, it was hilarious. Granted, she does have a few insecurities when it comes to that, and how people think of her and her issues. She has been struggling her whole life academically, and tends to use her beauty and “sex appeal” as a buffer. So, because of this she tends to keep people at arm’s length, mainly guys, staying in “going no where relationships.” As her attraction for Alec builds and the two get closer, she continuous pushes him away. For reasons. THIS, is where I think Kat could have used a little maturity. But more on that later.Alec. OY ALEC. I just have to say, THANK YOU MEGAN, for creating a genuinely nice, sweet guy (that’s smart) loving, charming and sexy too. It was refreshing to have a male love interest like Alec. Of course, he too, has some issues. Coming out of a long-term relationship after she cheated, he’s still bitter and hurt. He cares about Kat right off, not only with the way Max was treating her, but because he wanted to help her.These two had some off the charts chemistry. They are so different from one another; Kat, wild and spontaneous and Alec, more reserved and quiet. They balance each other out so well though. Not to mention, the sexual tension was intense and hot too! Also, their lust (or sex) didn’t overtake the whole book, which was extremely appreciated. Their feelings for each other went so much deeper than that.As far as secondary characters go, there Danica. She is a close friend to Alec and down right hilarious. What I appreciated most about her character was her no bulls*** attitude. It came to a point where Alec and Kat were acting like children, and it was Danica to shake them both and tell them to grow up, basically. I love characters like that. There was Max too, who was Kat’s boyfriend and Alec’s best friend. He is not a bad guy, although he did some bad things. I understood him and his thoughts towards Alec. Everyone’s been jealous a time or two, ya know?- Overall -I loved it! Megan has created such a fun, fresh and unique romance. Full of quirky, fun and hilarious characters, Make it Count is a must read for those who enjoy romance, New Adult AND that want something different.
