------------

Lane is a local trying to make enough money to go to university, while Ashley’s a senator’s daughter, her family staying in Martha’s Vineyard for the summer. As much as he hates her world, where everything is handed to you on a golden platter and the guys can be as douchey as they want, Lane finds himself falling for Ashley, and her for him. But when said douche comes barreling between them, Lane and Ashley begin to see the cracks in their perfect summer fling.

Even though he wasn’t exactly a main character, I fell in love with Andrew, Ashley’s brother. He’s the perfect brother and friend, and I LOVE that he doesn’t put up with people’s shit (for the most part). Also, I oddly appreciated Gregory, mainly ’cause of his unshakable persistence, and the fact that he wasn’t overwhelmingly irritating (again, for the most part).

Lane and Ashley were perfect. They pretty much represent the epic relationship you want to keep and hold on to forever. I loved what they did to try to help each other and the fact that they fought so hard for each other~ One thing I would’ve liked to see, with regards to their relationship, was a longer falling in love process, because honestly, it seemed pretty instantaneous to me, and me and insta-love just don’t agree. I’m not saying it’s unrealistic, ’cause, hey, people have said it happens, but I would’ve liked to have gotten more get-to-know-you and more depth to the characters than simply what we got.

Overall, All In proved to be a great, light, and fun summer read~
