Betting On You, by Lynn Painter

This book talks about the life of Bailey as her parents have just been divorced and she has to move to a whole different state. On the plane there she meets and annoying boy she hopes to never see again, Charlie. Unfortunately for Bailey, she keeps meeting Charlie everywhere. Charlie has the idea that boys and girls cannot be friends. Can Bailey and Charlie remain friends or will Charlie's prediction be correct?

Betting On You was one of the best romance books I have ever read. I have read most of Lynn Painter's books but this one was one of the best. This book made me feel like I was inside the book, sharing the same emotions as Bailey and the same heartbreak as Charlie. I love very part of this book to the beginning all the way to the end. I feel deeply connected with this book and cannot wait to read more of Painter' s work.
