Jake's crazy proposition was what lured me to reading The Bet by Rachel Van Dyken. The fact that Kacey would even accept drew me into the story right away. Though right of the bat Jack was a total egotistical jerk (which felt that that was Ms. Dyken's intention so I was willing to give him a chance, a slim one) but I really felt for Kacey giving her heart to him. It was quickly known that they had a history between them which brought the underling drama and intrigued me the most. It was clear that Jake and Kacey were best friends and that Jake hurt her in some way. So what happened between them to strain their friendship that much and why would Kacey help Jake in spite of that? With the smooth writing style and all these intriguing questions, I easily got into the story....
