About this listen

Never make a bet with a man who plays to win....

Especially not a man like handsome, arrogant Connor Pratt. A.k.a. the huge PITA who's currently crashing in my spare room. A.k.a. my brother's best friend since they were about six. A.k.a. the one guy who still makes me feel like an awkward tongue-tied loser.

But when Connor moved in, I got a glimpse of another side of him. Because, like me, Connor's going through a nasty break-up. And, like me, he's just doing whatever he can to get through it.

Unfortunately, his method involves drinking alarming amounts of whiskey and watching a lot of, um...movies...that make every inch of my skin flush. I'm just trying to be helpful when I tell him that he should try my method: copious amounts of baked goods, sappy romantic comedies, and late nights spent whining with girlfriends.

But I should have known Connor would take that as a challenge. Now, he says he'll try my way of dealing with a break-up...but only if I agree to try his. Six month's rent to the person whose method works best.

We call it the break-up bet. And I'm going to win. Except right now, it feels like there's a whole lot more at stake than just rent money....

Contains mature themes.

Na, why the idea of Lucy’s story was good, the character was weak

Weak story, especially after completing the other 6 books, may have been better with a different narrator, i switched to reading. As narration was annoying.

Should have read the reviews

I wanted to like this book, the set-up is interesting and I love a love story with the brother's best friend.
BUT Lucy was the worst-developed female character I've ever read. She was shallow, indecisive, illogical, selectively insecure and treated Connor like shit based on a stereotype she perceived him as rather than how he acted around her.
To top it off, rather than working through her own prejudices and insecurities it took conversations with her Mother and enabling friends for her to realise that her ex was horrible and Connor was a good guy.
Also, if your friends don't tell you or drop hints within a three-year relationship that your partner isn't good enough for you, then your friends are crap too.
