Okay, stop.
I know what you're all thinking. OMG, A BOOK BASED OFF A TELEVISION SERIES?
Again?
Greek: Double Date, however, is worth reading. (not to mention the show is worth watching!)
Two dates—same night!
Major oops. When Casey Cartwright's brother begs her to be nerdy Dale Kettlewell's date to the sure-to-be-boring Honors Engineering Awards, Casey says yes. Even though Dale is totally not her type…and might have a crush on her. Ugh. But it's a nice thing to do, and Casey's always been the "nice" girl. But now, that night conflicts with the biggest event of the semester, the All-Greek formal. Casey already has a date lined up: hot transfer student Rob Howell.
What to do? What Casey does may surprise even herself….
Casey is a great heroine and her boy problems will have readers sympathizing immediately. Rusty, her brother, is just as quirky. Not to mention, the secondary characters like Cappie, Rebbecca, and Ashleigh help brighten up the book with their various personality types.
This is a great way readers to ease into the television series that is now into it's third season. Each character has their own little quirks and all are likeable in their own way. The dialogue is fresh and snappy, and this book has a lot of laugh-inducing lines that have you chuckling out loud. Especially the scenes with Ashleigh and Casey.
A few funny moments:
- When Rebecca and Casey are hiding from a mouse for a long time in the kitchen. "Do you know how long we've been up here? I am this close to eating the box of salad croutons."
- When Casey is talking to Ashleigh about finding a date, Ashleigh suggests asking her brother for advice. Casey responds with: "Please me ask my brother to date, Stars would have to collide in some universe-breaking fashion for that to happen." Ashleigh goes on to suggest hunting through social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook.
- When Dale, Cappie and Rusty are talking about Casey. "She'd dump him in an instant if you would commit. So do us a favor - put up or shut up - and no - this is not my anti-allergins talking!"
Check out this book if you want some fun light reading or if you want to see what the Greek show is all about. Also, the second book, Greek: Best Frenemies is coming out in Oct.

Sounds interesting. I'll have to check it out. Dating oops...eh,not seeing through the creep. Not original, but it's the plain truth.
So funny! Especially because I have eaten straight from the box of croutons. I actually have this book, so don't enter me, but now I'm much more curious about it. I'll have to dive into it soon.
biggest dating oops? Probably dating someone I worked with. it never is a good idea and then there were four years of working together

But how hilarious that the author bio is fake! I love that! That was one of my fav aspects of the Lemony Snicket books, too.
Funny that the author's bio is fake too!! Such an innovative idea!
Dating oops?
Going out on a date with the most popular cheerleader's ex-boyfriend when you clearly belong to the geek group! Clearly it doesn't even matter if they have broken up and the guy's interested in you! Trust me,it's even more dangerous than going out with your friend's boyfriend!
Sounds like a fun book. I'll have to put it on my to-buy list, unless I win it here, of course. :) Biggest oops, well that would be when I thought I was on a date with someone, and he ended up hooking back up with his ex. Right in front of me... can you believe it??????
My entire family LOVES Greek...probably because we have two in college and one in a fraternity. Never knew there was a book. :)
Biggest dating oops? Dating the son of my mom's friend... we were too young, it was long distance and now it's incredibly awkward to be around both him and his family. Woops!
My biggest oops, well, I really can't call it that because I am happily married, but I bet a lot of women out there would! I went to college with Brad Pitt. I actually hung out at his fraternity and saw that cute face from across the room at a dance; but I never went over to talk to him.
...I'm not in college, and I've never dated. Can I still be entered?
My dating ooops was when I knocked the water in my dates lap then went on to knock a candle over where the flame caught hold of his shirt. I still got a good night kiss even after we went to the A&E department! It was the strangest date I've ever had.
