callidiscope 's review for:

Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie
3.0

I don't normally read romance novels. Lately I'd wondered what all the hype was about, so I decided to give the genre a try. I found a book blog website, and took note of a few highly-praised titles.

This was the second romance novel I read, and probably the last modern-day romance I will read. It was okay - there was nothing wrong with the book, other than it's just not my style. I think if I'm going to read romance, it will be either historical or paranormal romance.

In my experience, no normal, handsome, and well-off man is really going to be getting all hot and bothered over how a chubby so-so looking woman scarfs down doughnuts in front of him.

All in all, I would recommend the book if you are already a romance fan, or like modern fiction, but I think I'll stick to my normal scifi/fantasy books.

My rating: 5.5/10
