bet me

i actually wanted to go to old navy but ended up entering barnes and noble since the parking was so bad because of the rain. i decided to browse around since i was there anyway and they had hardbound books at paperback prices. the first book i chose was mary higgins clark's nighttime is my time. it was an easy choice for me since i already have a lot of books that she wrote already (that i usually buy from book sales) and i enjoy reading suspense novels. the second one was harder to decide on. i wanted a book that had a lighter flavor to it. after looking at the cover flaps of a few books, i decided to get jennifer crusie's bet me



i enjoyed most of the book since i could relate to the main character, min dobbs. she had self-image issues since she was on the heavier side and was struggling even more because her sister's wedding was coming. she had her girlfriends that were there to give her support and affirmation, which i also have. i enjoyed the book since min eventually landed THE GUY. it didn't start out great since their meeting started out as a bet by min's ex-boyfriend but fate had other plans and they eventually ended up happy together. a nice fairy tale for me, too --- which is ironic since min didn't believe in fairy tales. what i didn't like so much was that at the end, it sounded more like the medieval-themed romances that center more on sex. all in all, i think it was a nice read --- it did keep me awake until 2 am for the past few days. :)
