Honestly I liked this one the best so far in the series. They aren't my favorite couple - Marshall is just adorable and I can't get over his cuteness - but I did like them overall and I liked the romance. The side characters also were interesting and gave a good amount to the story too.
I haven't read a "bet" plot in a long while so it was nice and new to me. Also as someone who studied environmental policy and marine biology it was kinda cool to see a main character in that field - even if he was way more ambitious than me.
It's a typical story line but I liked the writing style. I was a little nervous with it being shorter but it worked out well.
April 2024 Reread:
Spencer lives next door to the obnoxious DIK frat house, including the charming yet annoying Corey. All Spencer wants to do is study and work so he can afford school. After yelling at Corey about some shenanigans, Corey decides to try to woo the prickly Spencer. Corey's friends bet he can't seduce Spencer, but he bets he knows how to get the uptight yet crazy hot neighbor to loosen up.
I actually really liked Corey and Spencer. Spencer is so focused on school and sometimes forgets to live out in the world he's studying. Corey brings a lightness to his life, charming his way in when Spencer wasn't looking for someone. Corey has lived up his college years, but Spencer gives him a new perspective on what he's been missing by playing the field. Together they find a confidence to go after what they want - both with each other and for their futures. They had some really sweet and romantic moments, while still having some interesting voyeuristic spice.
I don't read a lot of "bet" stories but I really enjoyed this one. There are fun side characters that were pretty interesting too. I loved the whole DIKcon idea and also all the marine wildlife talk as an old marine bio student. Spencer out here living my dreams! It's a shorter book but I'm a fan of Neve's writing so it worked for me. Onto the next in my FU reread!

Bet You is book four in the Franklin U series. A MM college romance series collaboration between either authors. Each author writing their own book within the FU world.
She's All That but make it MM college romance, that is absolutely the vibe of this book and I was totally here for it. Add in the banter and snark between the MC's and I was sold. This was a great read. Low angst, lighthearted read with frat boy/nerd trope and a little voyeurism/exhibitionism. Plus the cosplay, one of my fave parts.
If you're an audiobook lover like I am I definitely recommend the audio narrated by Nick J Russo, he does a fantastic job!
These books might be part of a series in the same world but you can definitely read them out of order, I've been holding out for the audiobooks which has meant I've listened to them all out of 'order' and it hasn't hindered my reading experience at all.

3.5 ⭐️
Tropes:
- enemies to lovers
- grumpy x sunshine
A stolen parking space and a douche-y bet between frat daddies somehow turned into a somewhat adorable romance between Spencer and Cory.
I loved the banter and the hate flirting between S & C, but something was lacking in their relationship… Their story just didn’t feel as fleshed out as the other couples either
