Review: Just an okay book
Rating: 2 out of 5

2.5 starsI was a fan of The Bet, so I decided to read The Wager even though it was about Jake, and I really didn't like him in the first book. Now in this book it is like he is suddenly a completely different person. I don't know why but I wasn't really buying that he had a crush on her forever ago and actually cared about Char like that. That suddenly he would change his ways for her? I didn't believe it. I can see him getting tired of everyone thinking the worst of him and such, but it just didn't feel believable the way it was written.The grandmother was alright in this book. I didn't like the whole trick close to the end as well...it seemed a bit much. Like they would just go along with it even though they just got together? I guess it is supposed to be like that and humorous, but it just wasn't for me. The book overall was better than I expected, and I did like Jake in it, but he was just so different. I didn't see why he would change suddenly. I think that was my main issue. That and it just went on forever it seemed like. I did enjoy part of the Travis/Kacey wedding, but parts just made me scratch my head. It was an alright read, but not my favorite. I'm not sure if I would read another book (potentially Beth/Jace?) with grandma just interfering like crazy in their lived. Really she was crazy and trying to help, but she also got on my nerves sometimes. If she were in my family I definitely would not have been able to handle her as well as the characters in this book.This review was originally posted to [...]
