Brief Synopsis: (Taken from Goodreads) Kat Caruso wishes her brain had a return policy, or at least a complaint hot-line. The defective organ is constantly distracted, terrible at statistics, and absolutely flooded with inappropriate thoughts about her boyfriend’s gorgeous best friend, Alec…who just so happens to be her brand new math tutor. Who knew nerd was so hot?
Kat usually goes through tutors like she does boyfriends—both always seem to bail when they realize how hopeless she is. It’s safer for her heart to keep everyone at arm’s reach. But Alec is always stepping just a little too close.
Alec Stone should not be fantasizing about Kat. She’s adorable, unbelievably witty, and completely off limits. He’d never stab his best friend in the back…
But when secrets are revealed, the lines of loyalty are blurred. To make it count, Alec must learn messy human emotions can’t be solved like a trigonometry function. And Kat has to trust Alec may be the first guy to want her for who she is, and not in spite of it.
My Review:

My Review:
I give this book a 5 out of 5.
Since Anchor Me, I've been eagerly anticipating Megan Erickson's new book. And she did not disappoint.
The first in a trilogy, Make It Count made me laugh, cry, and even yell out in frustration! The characters are all typical college kids. The type of drama that they deal with (cheating girlfriend, betrayal, etc.) is completely normal for the age group.
Kat's insecurities are well-defined and well-written. You can tell the author did her homework on dyslexia to be able to write Kat's character so vividly. I felt like I was actually inside Kat's head and not just reading about her.
You can tell each character was lovingly crafted to be an important part of the story as a whole. I really enjoyed the witty banter between Kat and Alec - especially some of the more awkward yet funny scenes early on in the story.
At the end there is a sneak peek from book 2 in the trilogy: Make It Right; which stars Max Payton. As the second book is not slated to come out for a few more months, I'm refusing to read the sneak peek because I know it's going to drive me nuts to sit here and wait for several months to find out the whole story.
You can purchase Make It Count through Amazon in Kindle format. The hard copy version releases in July 2014.
