About this audiobook

Adventurous and fun-loving Becca Daniels loves the rush of new experiences and is constantly pushing the envelope—trying everything from extreme sports, to wild hair colors, to skydiving. So when a broken leg grounds her temporarily, Becca doesn’t take the interruption well. Grumpy, restless, and at loose ends, Becca bristles one day when some of her Getaway Girls Book Club friends tease her about being commitment-phobic. To prove them wrong, Becca impulsively promises to accept a date with the next guy who asks her out; and to date him for three months or twenty-five dates—whichever comes first. Unfortunately, the first invitation comes from Ben—too “churchy” and definitely not Becca’s type. Determined to win the bet, however, the two embark on a hilarious series of dates that plunge the outspoken, purple-haired Becca into a sea of church potlucks and prayer meetings. Ultimately, the dating experiment opens Becca’s eyes to a new perspective on her life’s purpose and a new understanding of who’s directing her path—an epiphany that could lead to her biggest adventure yet.

    I liked this book - but I didn't love it. I had a hard time getting through the first few chapters. I couldn't relate to Becca at all - she is much younger than me (and when I was her age I was married and a mother) and she has little sense of responsibility. The sentence structure was choppy (to get across the way Becca thinks, but still, it bothered me) and there were way too many characters to keep track of (I had to keep going back to remember who everyone was). I did like the idea of the main character being a non-Christian surrounded by Christians. This is the third book in a series but I won't be reading the other two. I think I'm a bit older than the target audience.
