There are so many things I love about Kylie Scott's newest installment of the Stage Dive series, Play.  I fell in love with Mal instantly in the first book, Lick, when he came to the rescue of his best friend's girl.  In that book he was funny, loveable, endearing, but in this book he is even more loveable with the added bonus of being hysterically funny and charming.  I love that he is the peacemaker in the band, and keeps everyone laughing.  When he meets Anne and decides to pursue her, his swoon-worthy book boyfriend status catapulted.  Even though he was always the life of the party, one of my favorite parts of the book was when he confided to Anne that he loved that he didn't always have to be "on" with her.  He was able to be himself and if that meant he was down, then he didn't have to answer questions about why.  I love the honesty between the two characters.  I love that Kylie doesn't write too much angst into her books.  She puts just enough to make it interesting without being frustrating.This is a spectacular book with wonderful characters.  David and Ev's story continued beautifully in Mal's book without overtaking his and Anne's story.  I also came to realize that I am eagerly awaiting the books featuring Ben and Jimmy.There were so many good quotes in this book from Mal and Anne that I could not choose only one.  Read the book and you'll discover why!
