Bet Me was typical Jennifer Crusie. Somewhat predictable, but totally enjoyable. Perfect for a mindless commute.

I loved this book found myself sitting in the car waiting for the CD to end. The end of the book was great, it's nice to have a book truely end and not just stop.

I enjoyed this book even though it was a little light on content. The author reeled you in with emotion and jitters. It was conversational and gossip-like which is the backbone of any good girly dialogue. Easily passes the time...

Jennifer Crusie generally has a lot of humor in her books, and while it wasn't completely missing from "Bet Me", it was buried beneath a relatively unappealing, rather nasty heroine with a chip on her shoulder and a "too good to be true" guy who is inexplicably willing to take her on. The plot contrivance (they meet through a bet) gets really stale really fast to the point of annoyance, the narration is bland and doesn't capture much of Cruisie's usual lightness. In fact as the book goes on, the heroine Min and her friends resemble nothing more than a less satisfied, less successful gang of "Sex and the City" wannabes...one of the characters a pure Samantha rip-off even down to the inflections in her voice. Unless you're really into romances and really into Jennifer Cruisie, I wouldn't bother with this one.

The storyline was cute and even unique however the author needs a dictionary or a thesaurus! I almost gave up on it because I grew so tired of hearing Minerva "said", Cal "said", Bonnie "said", he "said", she "said'. There are other ways to convey a story.
