All In stands as the second book in this new adult series. Grace Marsh really stood out for me in book one and she was equally as good in her own story. As a sophomore in college having been recently dumped by the boy she thought was the love of her life, I think Grace naturally embodies what it’s like to be a woman at this time in her life. Her reactions and thoughts are normal for the changes she faces post-breakup. Especially when the boy that broke your heart is your brother’s best friend and a fixture in your life. Grace meets Jacob Ross at a party and he becomes her love interest. Jacob’s story line proves to be interesting adding extra glimpses into his charm. He intrigued me with his wit and the description of his smile. He’s also quite sweet. These two together were fun, feisty, and at times angsty. Unlike in the first book, these two main characters really grabbed my attention from the start and held it. Grace makes mistakes in this that seem true to the situation even though at times I wanted to shake her. The issues I had with the story were the plot points involving Delaney in Grace’s story again felt unnatural to me. And the abrupt change of scenes in the story left me dangling on the edge of wanting more from almost every chapter. There were certain elements to each of their stories that felt unfinished and rushed. There could have been more development. It’s also a shorter read just like the first in the series. All In gave me a quick, fun story with two great characters who adored each other making it easy for the reader to adore them.
