CHARLIE ALL NIGHT is not my favorite Jennifer Crusie book and like a few of her other earlier ones feels more like a novella than a full-length novel. Regardless, it is an enjoyable read and very entertaining. The chemistry between Allie and Charlie is great and they have some fantastic dialogue, there are several humorous scenes, and the secondary characters are wonderful - especially Joe, Allie's gay roommate. All in all, the book is definitely worth checking out from the library (which is what I did).

In CHARLIE ALL NIGHT, like in ANYONE BUT YOU, Crusie features a heroine who is both older than usually found in the genre (Allie is 36) and than the hero (though only by two years here - not the ten that separates the hero and heroine of ANYONE BUT YOU).

My favorite Crusie books so far are: BET ME (5 stars - amazing!!), MANHUNTING (4 stars), and GETTING RID OF BRADLEY (4 stars). They are all both read- and buy-worthy! ( )

This felt like one of Crusie's lazier efforts—it doesn't have even the same level of banter as her other earlier works, the plotting is limp, and there's almost no character/relationship development. The sex scenes were also, well... a little cringe-inducing, the dialogue especially. It read almost as if she'd written it quite some time before its 1996 publication date, and while I read it through to the end, Charlie All Night didn't really keep me sufficiently entertained to stave off late ni...more This felt like one of Crusie's lazier efforts—it doesn't have even the same level of banter as her other earlier works, the plotting is limp, and there's almost no character/relationship development.

Another good one from Jennifer Crusie. It was good for a few laughs and smiles. A very quick read. Nothing deep, just a good, cute romance. ( )

This is my favourite Crusie so far. I read this with a very writer mind rather than a reader one, and got a lot out of the dialogue and setup of the relationship especially. Very sweet, and quite funny. Her characters are awesomely portrayed. ( )

The characters in this book were really cute :)
But the love scenes were on the awkward side and for most of the story, especially the ending, I had the feeling as if I was missing parts of the story. ( )
