How does lay the favorite end

The rows of green stretched before me like a lifetime of summers, each one more promising than the last. Dink, Inc. Most readers will feel the same way. The narrator is thoroughly likable. She is honest, she is funny, she adores her dog. She is also hyper, fickle, and, as a boyfriend says, a flight risk. More than anything, though, she is adrift.

In fact, Dink, Inc. But things get progressively darker when Raymer moves to New York and Dink sets her up with a new boss, the pound food-and-figures addict, Bernard. He is what Raymer calls a cannibalistic gambler. The money was what stuck. The two-hundred-thousand-dollar days; the fifteen- million -dollar months. She takes to the work like a natural, but makes the risky bet of falling for Dink, much to the chagrin of his retired showgirl wife Tulip Catherine Zeta-Jones.

That bet goes south, and a triangular war ensues. Can she beat the odds and win the day? In the end, Beth rises to the occasion, saving her boyfriend and winning a stunner of a wager, for a whole lot of money, at the buzzer of a Nets game! It's a healthy reaction to a big ass gun like that. Sign In. Play trailer Comedy Drama Romance.
