Going All In by Kate Campfield
3.0
Diving into "Going All In" offered a quick and cute escape, although the plot unfolded in a somewhat predictable manner. The potential ick factor with the step-sibling dynamic was swiftly addressed, alleviating any concerns on that front.
While the storyline had its moments, I found it challenging to forge a connection with the main characters, leaving me less invested in their journey. Holly's supposed closeness with her father posed a puzzling inconsistency, making it hard to believe she was in the dark about his serious relationship and upcoming marriage.
The ending felt like a speedy wrap-up, a tad rushed and quite predictable. However, it did serve its purpose in setting the stage for the second book in the series. The plot threads neatly tied up, providing a clear segue for what's to come.
"Going All In" may not have completely won me over, but its quick pace and hint of predictability make it a decent choice for a light read. If you're in the mood for a setup to a second book, this might be up your alley.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
