Eddy Rochester is a movie fanatic, a wannabe famous filmmaker, and a player. Hes figured hes pretty much on the fast track to success with his popular online video series Riot Grrl 16. Its all about him, and the girls love him at least most of them do. But Lucinda Dulko is different; shes not as easily charmed as Eddys other conquests. Play Me followes Eddy through his ups and downs with Riot Grrl 16, his relationship with his actress mother, and his various female friends. Eddy has to realize that maybe hes not guaranteed instant success, and that maybe there are other people in the picture besides him.

Laura Ruby weaves and incredibly realistic story in Play Me. Eddys character is developed so well that I totally felt I could see through his eyes into his life. Theres something so believable about Eddys story that made me want to keep reading. The plot isnt too exciting, but reading this book was such a great experience because I could really feel Eddys emotions. There arent many books that Ive read that have such a real and honest male protagonist like Eddy. Play Me was a beautifully written and extremely honest story anyone can relate to.

If youre looking for a realistic story to read, Play Me should be your first choice. Fans of Sarah Dessen, Deb Caletti, and Catherine Ryan Hyde will also enjoy Laura Rubys latest novel.
