Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie

Narrated by Deanna Hurst

978-0312548810
I checked it out from my library's downloading site but you can find it anywhere.

The story as I see it: 
Minerva-friends call her Min, gets dumped by short-term boyfriend, David (total tool) because she wouldn’t have sex with him.  David gets drunk then bets total hottie Calvin-Cal to his friends that he can’t pick up Min then switches the bet to be about getting her into bed.  Min overheard all of that and swears not to fall for it.  Chaos and hijinks ensue. 
This is a sassy and fun love story with plenty of drama involving Min’s ex David and Cal’s ex Cinthy, friends, families a crazy cat, funky shoes and that darn bet.
I do not remember any bad language-it doesn’t bother me so I don’t usually pay attention.  There we allusions to sex and some groping but little actual sex.

How does it read/listen?

I listened to this one, and thought narrator Deanne Hurst did a great job.  There were some moments when the timing bothered me, but that has to do with editing-not the reading.  It goes pretty fast , it's fun and cute.

Who would I cast?

I’d love to see Megan McCarthy as Min and maybe Karl Urban as Cal.  I don’t have an opinion about the rest of the cast except Cinthy, I think Charlize Theron should play her. 

Who would I give it to?
Anyone who likes romances but is tired of the usual, people who like chick flicks-especially romantic comedies.   It will definitely make you laugh.
I’d stick with 16 and up for the age range.

Would I read it again?

Yes., but I’d give it about a year but I would relisten.

Hi, my name is Alita and I'm a story addict.

It's not just hard and paper bound books... I've been listening to audio books for years and added e-books this past Christmas.  I love kids books, books for teens, romances, mysteries, science fiction, fantasy, graphic novels and everything inbetween.  I always have a book with me sometimes I tell people about them (The In Death Series by Nora Roberts writing as JD Robb) sometimes I'm embarrased by them (any of the Harlequin Inspired Romance books I've read- I really shouldn't read Harlequin it's too much like Mom's Halmark channel.)
I'm going to tell you about the books I'm reading and listening to, how it reads (or listens,) the type of person I think would like it, who I think should star in the movie and anything else I can think of.  Right now I'm listening to The In Death Series again.  But I always have another book going.  The first one I'm going to write about is Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie.
