Bet On It by Jodie Slaughter
3.0

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC. There are so many things about this book that I loved. I loved that it was set in the South, in neighboring South Carolina, with one of my favorite places as a backdrop—Charleston. I loved that Aja wasn’t your typical skinny protagonist, but one with curves and braids! Most of all, I loved this raw look at two people living and learning to cope with their anxiety, while falling in love and playing bingo. Coming from a small town in NC, I appreciated the mentions of Piggly Wiggly, drive in theaters, and peach cobbler in the summer. A fun read with relatable characters.
