Girl 99 by Andy Jones

3.0

Girl 99 was a cute and quick audio book to listen to while at work today. Yes, TODAY. However, I feel like Verity was kind of meh to me.

This book follows Tom's love life. His girlfriend just broke up with him and he's now taking the time to sit and ponder about all the girls he has slept with. Now I'm not saying he's a man-whore but, hot damn! 85 women seems to be a lot. It could just be me though..

Of course no book is good without a sex bet. El, Tom's best friend, has bet him to shag enough women to reach the number 100. Again, the number seems to be way too freaking high. So Tom goes out on the prowl to get more notches on his bed post. He's on a pretty good roll until someone sweeps him off his feet. Okay, no - that didn't happen. She just kind of stopped his world and made him forget about the bet.

Speaking of the devil, one day he meets Verity. She basically flips his world upside down. They were working on a project together and instantly takes a liking to her. At the point, the number 100 went out the window. Actually anything and everything went with it too.

They were a cute couple and had some funny moments but I still kind of thought Verity was kind of plain and boring in my eyes. His other dates were a bit more fun or at least made me laugh. Again, I don't really know how I feel about these two being together but then again - it's not my love life.

Overall, it was a pretty cute book that had some fun moments. The ending was a bit underwhelming but I still enjoyed it.
