Rating: 4 out of 5

All In is one of those books that bring to light all those feelings when the one person you love most in this world breaks your heart and finding out what it takes to move on.It’s told from the point of view of Grace who’s boyfriend of two years suddenly breaks up with her, shattering her world. Grace is a character who I related to easily. She’s very quirky, says what she thinks, sometimes without filtering her thoughts and experiences all the normal emotions and reactions that a girl feels when the love of her life gives up on their relationship. In this case it’s Grant, her brother’s best friend. I wasn’t quite sure what to make of Grant at first, as he was a villain for a good part of the book upsetting Grace. As the story moves on you begin to gain a better understanding of him and the reasons for his actions. Then there is Jacob, Grace’s new love interest. He’s a very swoon-worthy likeable character in my opinion, but he’s also a very emotional due to the tragedies he has experienced in his life.It’s well written, and moves at a pace that keep you enthralled. The characters are an interesting group that most people could relate to in one way, or another, particular the family trio of Grace, Cole and Holden.The romance between Grace and Jacob is sweet and not rushed. The progression of their relationship feels realistic and heats up when it should as they become more comfortable with one another and includes tastefully written and sometimes amusing love scenes.As for the ending of this book…Yes, it’s a happy one, but I also found it quite funny as Grace’s quirkiness comes into play once again leaving you with a smile on your face. Not only because the ending is good but because it made me laugh, and that’s always welcomed.If you enjoy books that contain a college romance, moving on from a broken heart or just a fun love story then you need to give this a try.Nice read 4 stars!*copy of book gifted to me from the author in return for an honest review*
