Publisher Description
Emerson Academy's star quarterback, the invisible plus size girl, and a bet that could ruin them both...
The mean girl told me someone like Beckett Langley would never date a plus size girl like me, and my mouth spoke before my brain thought. I bet her I could get the star quarterback, Beckett Langley, to take me to homecoming. If I win, she'll stop bullying me. And if I lose? I'll stay home from the dance like the pariah she thinks I am.
The catch? He doesn’t even know I exist.
My friends are all on board, trying to get his attention so she’ll stop making fun of girls like us. But then I get to know the real Beckett. He’s kind and thoughtful and tired of only being thought of as a good-looking jock, just like I don’t like people judging me.
And now I have a really big problem: he doesn’t know our relationship is built on a bet.
And I don’t know how to tell him the truth without losing the first and only guy I’ve ever loved.
Customer Reviews
In love.
I’ve been waiting to read this book for months! I finally got it late Wednesday night it took me less than 2 days to finish, I couldn’t put it down! I love how it shows all the ins and outs of being a curvy girl and feeling unlovable. I would recommend this heartwarming, drama filled, rom com to anybody:)
Love it!!
Love love LOVE this book!! I feel like i can really relate to Rory bc when i was in middle school and high school i had felt how she felt in terms of didnt feel like she deserved love bc of her size
Disappointing - no continuity. Lazy writing.
Very recycled plot—”I bet you can’t get a date with ___.” That said, I liked the PCOS rep and decided to hang in there. It was decent, I was just thinking this was a 4-star read and about to look into everything else this author has written when … “it” happened. A major, book-ruining, continuity issue occurred.
As already stated, this book was centered around a bet … nearly right when it opened the terms of the bet were laid out and then they were described in this way throughout the novel … until they weren’t and all of a sudden, AFTER the bet was over and original terms were once again, discussed, the bet was suddenly being referred to as an entirely different bet. Obviously this is lazy writing, it’s poor writing and it demonstrates that the author has no care for the quality of work they produce so, ended up being very disappointed. Definitely no longer have a need to read more of this author, which is a shame since they had that ‘disability representation’ going on and a relatable female lead. So frustrating.
High school setting.
Curvy female lead.
PCOS representation.
Bullying.
Body-shaming.
Do not recommend unless you don’t care about continuity.
2 stars for “disappointing”.
🎧 Audio:
The audio wasn’t great, this narrator sounds pretty robotic. If I wanted to listen to robots, I’d just have Siri read all my eBooks to me.
