Playing Against the Player

by Desirae Clark

"Step one: get his attention."
"Step two: make him pissed."
"Step three: make him jealous."
And that's how three girls thought of a plan to make Parker Brady, the school's bad boy fall in love with his former best friend and a total bad girl, Samantha Valentine.
But what happens when things don't go their way exactly and Samantha's ex-boyfriend and old friends come into the picture from their rival school to spend two weeks at her new one?
Well, let's just say things were going to get interesting.

This is a story about friendship, high school, rumors, anti-bullying, love, revenge, dares and of course two players of the opposite sex trying to prove themselves in different ways to each other.

This book was amazing and I just know that if she slows things down a bit it will be even batter but the story over all was amazing. The characters had good structure the main two were especially great. The plot itself was written in such a way that you just couldn't stop reading.

I thought that this would be your typical cliche YA romance, but it's so much more! The main character is so cunning and funny that it's impossible to hate her! I loved reading this book on Wattled and now can't wait for it to be published. Highly recommend it to anybody looking for a good read!

Oh well, this was gooood!
I liked the characters and everything. The only thing I could say against it (not that much actually, I was really happy for how it ended): It was too rushed. The last few chapters I was a little confused, like, from when she despised him there goes the being friends, and then all of a sudden the love, he let the bet pass too easily.
Samantha was a badass, and I loved her.
The writing style is really great, and I'm surely going to read the next book c:

It's great.The book really shows you how well of a character Samantha is and the whole friendship and drama thing too.Like all of Desirae's book, this book has the lovely vibe of teenager romance while showing all they have to go through.This book is a great light read and really makes me feel good.
