Review: The Break-Up Bet by Cat Carmine

Review of The Break-Up Bet by Cat Carmine


THE BREAK-UP BET

When Lucy gets a new roommate who just happens to be her brother's best friend, the guy she used to have a crush on, she thinks she can handle living with Connor, no problem. Connor, like Lucy, has just been through a bad break-up, and they have had different ways of coping. But then someone (Connor) gets the bright idea to have a bet on whose process for dealing with a break-up is better - hers that involves ice cream and binging on sappy chick flicks, or his which involves porn and whisky. Whoever moves on first, wins. It sounds iffy to Lucy, but as Connor said, no matter who loses, wins anyway.


The Break-Up Bet is so sweet and adorable. Lucy is definitely a dork, but in a cute way, and Connor definitely notices. And Connor was just as adorable as Lucy, so them together as a couple were even better than them separately. Cat Carmine is fast becoming one of my favorite writers with her sexy heroes, and sweet, strong heroines, I can't wait for whatever story she has in store for us next. I hope it's Tess and Noah's!

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
