And, surprise: they really like kissing each other! The rest of Bet Me is one very long, deliciously frustrated (and unconsummated) journey towards happily ever after. They start out hating each other, but Cal gets jealous when he sees Min eating a doughnut and decides he want her to look at him like she looks at doughnuts. The highlight for me is definitely, and obviously, Cal and Min’s relationship. Basically, Jennifer Crusie starts out with a premise that seems highly unpromising, and then twists the crap out of it to create a funny and tension-filled novel that was, for me, absolutely unputdownable. Second, there’s not actually…a bet it’s kind of all a big misunderstanding. First, the love interest, Cal, is very attracted to Min’s “unattractive qualities” (namely her curves) and he’s extremely supportive and kind.
Not okay.Įxcept…that’s not really what happens in Bet Me. Too…condescending and douchey on the part of the male love interest. Attractive man-dude makes a bet that he can take home a random woman and have sex with her? Ew, gross. This sort of doesn’t seem like much of a “Renae book”.
