All Bets Are Off: What happens in Vegas definitely won't stay there...
Not yet published
Expected 13 Aug 26Three women. One bachelorette weekend. Zero chance of everything going to plan...
Adelaide Sinclair is weeks away from her dream wedding to the love of her life... or so everyone believes. Her bachelorette in Vegas is meant to be the ultimate send-off, until her fiancé crashes the party with his bachelor crew, including Connor, the first boy she ever loved... and the only one who knows the truth.
Hailey Clark would rather be anywhere else than a Las Vegas. When the email of a lifetime lands in her inbox - her shot at becoming a published author - she suddenly needs to balance her maid of honor duties with chasing her dreams. Easy enough... until she ends up handcuffed to the bride's charming younger brother, Theo, and her carefully laid plans go up in glittery smoke.
Evelyn Sinclair is finally twenty-one and ready to party, but she's also desperate for cash - and running out of time to get it. A little light theft seems like the perfect solution... until she tries to help herself to a Rolex from the wrist of a dangerously attractive stranger who insists on payback.
What happens in Vegas definitely won't stay there. By the end of the weekend, everything will change.

I want to begin by thanking NetGalley for the ARC of All Bets Are Off in exchange for an honest review.
I’ve been a huge fan of Estelle’s stories since my teenage years. It’s always a pleasure to read her books, and All Bets Are Off has become my favorite adult novel by her.
When I read the synopsis, I wasn’t expecting such a deep and emotional story. I thought I was going to read a fun, lighthearted bachelorette party adventure between friends. I definitely didn’t expect to experience so many emotions or encounter such difficult topics. But the balance between the humor and the heavier moments was perfect, making the story even more beautiful and meaningful.
I really enjoyed having multiple POVs and following the different characters. At first, it can be a little difficult to keep track of everyone, but you quickly get used to it. I loved each of these women. They all have very different personalities, yet they complement each other so well. There were so many hilarious moments, creating exactly the kind of unforgettable Las Vegas adventure you would expect.
It has been behind my expectations!

Thank you Netgalley for this arc. This is my favourite of Estelle’s Adult books. The characters were all so fleshed out and jumping between each of their plot lines was so fun, and always kept me on my toes. It was very feminist and I loved the direction the ending went in. It had me very near tears!

What a wonderful read! All Bets Are Off is one of Estelle Maskame’s adult novels and I think she did just brilliant; it was fun, entertaining and lighthearted but also didn’t shy away from more serious topics. In my opinion, it struck a great balance!
All Bets Are Off follows a group of 4 women (Addy who’s the bride to be, Hailey, Evie and Melissa) on a bachelorettes weekend in Vegas. But then turns out the bachelors group is joining them for the week and chaos ensues. Without giving too much away, this book follows 3 women with their own POVs on their own romantic journeys during their stay in Vegas. Melissa played a rather small role in the story, which I was a bit sad about! She was a good character and had a lot more potential than to be just the “mom friend” and not having a POV when the other women did.
Addies story was probably the most tough one to read with her not being very happy on her own bachelorette trip and experiencing a lot of heartbreak. I enjoyed her as a character and watching her stand up for herself. Will not say more on her relationships here but I think it was done well with how it ended (can you tell I am trying my hardest to avoid spoiling this??). Hailey and Theo were my favourites!!! The forced proximity was so perfectly executed by the means of being handcuffed together (in Vegas!), and I loved reading about these two coming together. Evie and Jameson… they made me struggle, and I think it’s mainly because their story felt more random compared to the others and left me wanting a bit more; their relationship felt shallow with them being strangers and not knowing much about each other, and as a consequence, the reader also doesn’t know much about them. I loved having 3 romances and POVs in this book, but it means a slight trade off in depth of the relationships. Which, however, wasn’t really noticeable for Addie and Hailey.
Overall, a fun read, a great plot, a well rounded group of characters and a perfect summer read! Now I also want to go to Vegas!!

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
We're in Vegas with Adelaide, Hailey and Evie. At least those three share their POVs with us.
It's Addy's bachelorette weekend. And her fiancé decided to crash their party and who did he bring, other than two friends and her younger brother? Her first love Connor. And that's not the only problem Liam is adding to this weekend.
Addy's best friend Hannah has organized the whole thing but now she has to do some edits to her manuscript and can't keep an eye on things going as smoothly as planned. Plus also, she's kinda handcuffed to Addy's brother after a game of spin-the-bottle.
And Evie, Addy's little sister - who just turned 21 - is hell bent on winning at the casino because she owes some college mafia guy money for selling her the test results for her finals.
LET THE FUN TIMES BEGIN!
LOL.
I really enjoyed reading this.
At first I thought I would get all those people confused in my bookalzheimer head, but it was pretty easy to remember who was who.
This was so funny and cute and slightly sad and scary and frustrating with how the groom was behaving.
We get a lot of Las Vegas and alcohol - A LOT of alcohol - and casino and sightseeing and bacheloretting and kissing and... more. Every girl has her own love story going on in this book. It could've been a trilogy with a book for each girl but it was okay the way it was done.
I loved reading this. Cute summer/pool read with some very heavy parts - to be enjoyed/endured with a huge Las Vegas style alcoholic beverage.

4/5
“All Bets Are Off” by Estelle Maskame is a romance novel focusing on the events occurring at Adelaide Sinclair’s bachelorette weekend. She’s going to Las Vegas with her friends (Hailey and Melissa) and her younger sister (Evelyn) but her amazing weekend is crashed and boycotted by her fiancé, Liam, and his bachelor crew, under the guise of uniting their parties. This is not a romantic comedy, but more of a toxic romance, at least part of it. Nonetheless, this book is very fun and I personally think it would make a great beach/pool read.
The novel follows the perspectives of Adelaide, Hailey and Evelyn, and the plot moves easily forward as the events of the bachelorette party occur. Consequently, the plot in itself in simple and linear, the novel being quite straightforward from that perspective.
Adelaide’s character is the stereotypical older sister who shoulders everything on her own without even trying to rely on anyone else. She grew comfortable in her relationship and her future plans with Liam and, despite Liam being horrible to her, she doesn’t have the courage to dismiss him and their relationship. She starts the novel by stating as a matter of fact that she feels no thrill for her life with him, and her character arc focuses on Adelaide finally finding the push to focus on her own person and not on others. She is emboldened to act on his by her former flame and friend, Connor. A relationship with a lot of history and regrets, even after almost a decade, Connor represents an anchor of stability and calm in Adelaide’s life. Adelaide’s arc, along with her relationship with Connor, was on the heavier side, particularly due to her controversial relationship with Liam, but it was delicately and sensibly handled by the author. The resolution was satisfying.
Hailey is a shy and delicate girl who also enjoys writing romance novels — while on the bachelorette she has a deadline coming up, so she splits her time between the party and her writing, aided by Adelaide’s brother Theo, who crashed their weekend as part of Liam’s bachelor crew. Theo has loved Hailey his entire life, and finds an opportunity to get closer to her as part of a daring game — his feelings towards Hailey and how he has been loyal to her all of his life was especially endearing. Hailey and Theo are the sole non-controversial characters of the novel, and their entire arc felt like a breath of fresh air between all the other tense moments.
Last, but definitely not least, Evelyn — a twenty-one year old student in her final year of nursing university, she finds herself in debt due to a fraudulent act. I must say that the lightness with which she treated the situation was not something I was particularly keen of, especially since she is a future nurse, nonetheless such people exist so it was interesting reading her story. I enjoyed Jameson’s character more than hers and, truthfully, I am satisfied with the resolution more because he is the one who deserved a happy ending and not necessarily Evelyn. I wish she had a deeper understanding of her wrongdoings by the end and an actual evolution as a character — she is as shallow at the end as she was at the beginning and it is not an age issue. At twenty-one, she should have known much better.
The prose is quite persuasive in an emotional manner, which suits the theme, and the exposition is vividly done — the description of all settings is so nicely painted that at times it felt like I wasn’t reading a book but watching a movie. The novel is written from a first person perspective and, truthfully, I found that it did not match the more serious tone of the plot and situations. It felt quite puerile compared to the seriousness of the topics. Nonetheless, this is my personal preference, so perhaps others will find that the first person narration helps them relate more to the characters’ situations.
A fun and easy, straightforward read, this book managed to take me out of a reading slump. Very enjoyable! I would recommend this to fans of Sophie Kinsella, Lucy Score and Ana Huang.

Delightfully fun, All Bets Are Off by Estelle Maskame is an adorable summer read.
The novel centres on a bachelorette party in Las Vegas that is unexpectedly hijacked by the groom's stag party... what could possibly go wrong? Told through the alternating perspectives of three women – Adelaide (the bride-to-be), Evelyn (her younger sister) and Hailey (her best friend and maid of honour) – each voice feels distinctive and engaging. Adelaide's narrative perhaps takes a slightly less light-hearted direction than the other two, giving the story a little more variety in tone.
I was especially drawn to Hailey's storyline. She is great fun to spend time with, but her struggle to balance competing priorities also makes her highly relatable. Although the novel is predominantly light-hearted, it gradually introduces more serious themes as the plot unfolds, which helps it stand apart from many others in the genre.
Finally, I can't end without mentioning the Eggslut passages. As someone who loves Eggslut, I will never tire of the place finding its way into my fiction!
