Details

Patrice Reyes is a college junior with good grades, football fame, and finally has caught the attention of her longtime crush. Life’s going well—until Paul Dalmacio, a sharp-tongued Applied Math major, enters the picture and seems to hate everything about her world. Why does it bother her so much?

As her best friend navigates a “will-they-won’t-they” romance and their freshman roommate dives headfirst into college life, Patrice must juggle academics, sports, and social drama—all while keeping her scholarship.

A modern Pride and Prejudice set in a Philippine university, Well Played is a story of friendship, rivalry, and looking beyond first impressions.

REVIEWS:  

“I had so much fun matching the characters in Katrina Ramos Atienza’s retelling of Pride and Prejudice to the original. I liked Patrice and her wit, loyalty to her friends, fierceness, and passion for her sport, while Paul, with the angst, grumpiness, and all the hidden layers, is such a true Darcy.”
— Ana Tejano, author of Keep the Faith and Fall Like Rain

“Like with Austen’s tale, the romance is a slow burn. It has football, math, and college org shenanigans, set in a picturesque university. All in all, a really fun read.”
— Jay E. Tria, author of You Out of Nowhere and The Playlist series
