I was really looking forward to The Way to Game. It's got a badass title and an intriguing summary, but the book left me disappointed. While some scenes with Taylor and Evan were full of sweet moments or delightfully sassy banter (I am always up for sassy banter!), those scenes couldn't make up for flat stereotypical characters who seemed to be cardboard cutouts (the ambitious good girl, the womanizing slacker, the confident best friend, the sexy mean girl who's just jealous, etc) or a lackluster plot that didn't develop at an even rate or resolve well. I wonder if actual teens will like this book better seeing as they can relate a bit more to the school/college/parent-issues storylines, but I don't know if I would recommend teens read it because of a couple issues I had. I cringed every time Evan used the phrase "not like other girls" or whenever he or Taylor commented on Lauren's body. The girl was mean and rude, but please leave her body out of it. Sadly, The Way to Game the Walk of Shame was just not a book for me.
