Min and Cal is it Love?

What I like about the novel bet me is the main relationship between cal and min, they are more alike than either one realizes. They do have their differences and they are big differences like the careers they have, one a risk taker the other one analyzes the risk before making the move. They are so perfect for each other they don’t realize it they are blinded by the bet which put them in each other’s lives. They get the hints, “this one, this is the one”, or Emilio telling cal that min is the one for him they both are to blinded to see the true love that is there between them.

People always say that if it is true love you will know. Well in some cases like this one they need a little help and some pushing to open their eyes to the true love that is right under their noses. They are both stubborn and set in their ways that it is hard to see. Cal and min complement one another; they also seem to bring out the best of themselves and each other when they are together. Cal brings out that side of min that you only see in her shoes the part of her with her guard down and that is a little wild. Whereas min turns cal into the warm hearted caring man his truly is that can be goofy and silly, helps him to realize that he doesn’t have to be the man’s man.

They helped each other realize that having a plan and sticking to the plan isn’t always the way to go sometimes you need to deviate from that plan and roll with the changes especially when you always seem to be running into each other that should be a sign in its self. I mean they told each other after their first date that they would go their separate ways and never see each other again. But then they always seem to be running into each other and making plans to see each other again no matter what false pretences they use to explain their reasoning for seeing each other, they just can’t seem to understand that they are draw to each other for whatever reason.

I enjoy that these two care for each other so much that they defend the other to friends, but they don’t want to admit to everyone that they like each other and are in love; they can admit it to themselves but are not completely honest with each other and those close to them. I think that they are a cute couple and that they are perfect for one another. Their relationship draws you in and holds you tight and keeps you turning the pages and wanting more.
