    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!
