He was my best friend ... ”I say more to myself than to her.

"Yes, me too, but you seem to have forgotten that part of your life."

The bet was simple.
You take a name out of the hat.
This is the girl you have to seduce.
The girl you have to make fall in love with you.

It wasn't difficult for me, in fact, it was something I did all the time. I was known for breaking hearts. Sex was just that, sex. And it wasn't long before I put a woman on her back.

And then I took her name: Jules Peterson.

My ex-best friend. My first kiss. My first love. She broke my heart into a million pieces three years ago. She left me well when I needed her most.
And as fate wanted it, it entered my life again, almost at the perfect moment.
She was a transfer student, fresh meat and had just put a target on her back. It was my turn to make her pay. It was my turn to break her heart.

Trapped in that hate, that anger, that broken heart. It does something for you. It breaks you, and it broke me, defiled me, just as I would Jules.
She used to be my everything, but now she was nothing but One Bet.

1.5 (Ruim)

Ruim

Bom, como em várias outras resenhas já foi falado da romantização do cara subjugando a mocinha sexualmente (vou deixar assim pra não dar spoiler), o resto do livro é beeem fraco.

O cara é um mimado e infantilizado. Ele culpou a Jules por algo que ela absolutamente não tinha culpa e transformou a vida dele mesmo num inferno por causa disso. Beleza, tem a coisa do abandono e tal, mas é exagerado no livro. Não tem muito nexo.

Outra coisa é a "redenção" dele. O cara muda da água pro vinho em questão de minutos... Ele simplesmente deixa de ser um babaca mimado e superficial de um minuto para o outro, achei q isso podia ter sido melhor elaborado pelas autoras.

Bom, não recomendo. Livro muito fraco.
