Very fast, entertaining & easy reading. Sassy contemporary romance about second chances and getting it right. ( )

A quick, cute read, though this is definitely an early Crusie: there isn't a plot so much as a series of convenient and rather repetitive excuses to draw the book out to its required length. I'm also beginning to wonder why it is that Crusie is so insistent that none of her heroines have or want children: trying to buck genre constraints, or something else? Still, this was very funny, Fred the depressive beagle was adorable, and it's got an older woman/younger man romance—definitely worth the couple of hours it takes to read. ( )

Very funny...I love FRED! He made me laugh the way he would dive out the window. he, he...Fred definitely made this book.Alex and Nina were both likable characters, but I think everyone around them made the story more interesting...Fred, Max, Charity, Norma, etc...it was the interactions with everyone else that told more. It was a quick, easy read, as usual, from Jennifer Crusie. I've noticed that she likes to have some "big" social/political issue in her books and this one was the idea of an older woman/younger man. It was more about how those inside the situation look at it other than those on the outside. ( )

A lot of people name this as their Crusie favourite. Me too. I loved the dog, and I got a lot of funny looks laughing and giggling to myself while waiting in various lines and waiting rooms. The romance was sweet and tight, and I always enjoy Crusie's psychological pictures. It made my day (and a long day that was). ( )

What a fun book! ( )
