A review by kthrine
Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie

4.0

Very fun and funny story. I really enjoyed Cal and Min’s banter and dynamic. It is very solidly a 2004 novel, the lack of cell phone usage and email is telling. Also the insane amount of diet and fat shaming screams 2004. I think it was handled fairly well, definitely better than some other books, but it is really frustrating reading a book and not being able to escape the nagging internal diet culture. 

I never got much of a sense of what Min actually looked like, her body anyway, for how much her body was a focus of lots of the characters. Which is both confusing and good.
