Make It Right by Megan Erickson ♡♡♡

Make It Right by Megan Erickson is the second book in the Bowler University series. Read the first book in the series so you will know who all the characters are, the story will feel very off if you don't know what happened before.

Make It Right tells the story of Lea and Max. Leas doesn't know how to trust anyone as the result of a difficult past. Max wants Lea, but he finds it difficult to be honest with himself and others. He's learned it's easier to be the person everyone else wants him to be.

Neither wants to admit their feelings for the other, but they fall hard and fast. Max shows Lea how to trust people and herself. Lea shows Max how to be the person he wants to be.

I enjoyed reading this story. I liked the Max and Lea, and I really liked how fully developed the secondary characters were. I did have some difficulty connecting with the characters. I think the story could have benefited from being in first person, from each character's point of view. Something about the third person really threw me off. There were also quite a few places with missing words or the wrong word, which pulled me out of the story (and makes me a bit peeved at the editor and copy editor, did they even read it?).

But overall, the story was good, and I will be reading the next book, Make It Last, when I get through some of my other TBR books. Have you read any of Megan Erickson's books? If not, you should. They are great, quick fun reads. Enjoy!

Make it Count by Megan Erickson ♥♥♥.8

Make it Count by Megan Erickson is one of those book s I picked up because quite a few authors were talking about it on Twitter. Since I enjoy those authors, I thought I would take their praise to heart and give Megan Erickson a try.

Make it Count is the story of Kat and Alec (with a good about of Max sprinkled on top). When we start the story, Kat is dating Max, a pretty craptastic boyfriend. Kat is struggling with her classes (and on academic probation), and she’s in need of a new tutor since her previous one quit. The tutor she’s assigned is nerd hottie Alec. Alec just happens to be the roommate of Kat’s boyfriend and his best friend. Even worse? There’s no denying the almost tangible energy between Alec and Kat.

This book was such a joy to read for many reasons. First, the relationship between Alec and Kat is fraught with all sorts of moral dilemmas. Those are always fun to read because the answers aren’t always so black and white. It was also very refreshing to see all sorts of diversity woven throughout the story; there was diversity in ethnicity, socioeconomics, and even on learning styles, but at the same time it didn’t feel as if those things were there just for the sake of being diverse.

And I just adored Kat. She was both strong and vulnerable. She seemed like someone you would want to be friends with, and she had many of the insecurities that made for a very relatable character. As they said in the books “nerd is the new black,” so there was no way I wasn’t going to love Alec.

Give the book a shot. It took me a few chapters to really get into the story. But once I got into it I didn’t want to put it down!
