The story here is not that shocking or remarkable. Cass's boyfriend, Jesse, cheats on her with her best friend, therefore
ruining her entire life. However, predictably, she finds new friends, a new hobby (poker, of course--she lives in Las
Vegas!), and maybe even a new guy.
What makes GETTIN' LUCKY special is the awesome Las Vegas-poker twist on what is a fairly typical teen romance!
That kept my attention througout the book, although there were occasional dull bits in this novel.
Micol Ostow, however, is a good writer, who manages to make her characters realistic and interesting.
GETTIN' LUCKY is definitely worth reading!
