Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie

Minn Dobbs is a slightly chubby actuary who is not looking for love after her boyfriend dumps her. Little does she know that she is going to find it anyway. This is my 3rd read of this book. I remember the first time I had read it, it caught me from almost the first page. I think part of the reason I like this book is because the heroine isn’t your typical drop dead gorgeous woman. She has brown hair, has a weight problem according to her mother and she’s an actuary. She sounds a lot like me, except I’m not single. I also like that Minn doesn’t just fall at the guy’s feet, in fact, she actively tries to stay away from him. That is where a lot of the humor of the book comes in. After reading this book, I became a fan of Jennifer Crusie.

My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
