I always enjoy Jennifer Cruise's books because they read like romcoms and her dialogue is unparalleled. As someone who has either lived in Columbus or Cbus-adjacent most of her life, I also really enjoy the references to my city.

Fast paced, great dialogue, laugh out loud funny, with a bit of horror and suspense. It was like Netflix's Haunting of Bly Manor as a romantic comedy. Loved it and would definitely reread.

Great read
Great premise for a book about the paranormal, not the usual at all. Lots of humor and warmth. Didn’t want it to end.

I believe this is the first Jennifer Crusie's book I've ever read and I was pleasantly surprised. It was fun, quirky and of course romantic. Ghosts as part of the plot in a romance novel isn't a novelty. In fact Jane Eyre came to mind. Obviously Ms. Cruise based some of her story in this classic. Regardless, I enjoyed it and shall read more of Cruise's books.

Creepy ghosts and romance - what more could you ask for? A very fun read by a new to me author. North and Andie are both strong characters. Lots of tension in the book but it's also very funny. Thumbs up!

I've been a fan of Jennifer Crusie for a while and even though it's very hard very hard for any of her other titles to come close to the love I have for Bet Me, Maybe This Time did a not bad time of trying. For her last few books, Ms. Crusie has been exploring the paranormal side to romance. North and Andie were great characters, finding love again ten years after the fact. I think my only real problem with this story is that Ms. Crusie chose to set it in 1994, as she puts its it "Just Because". This means that the romance between North and Andie began in 1984, when I was three, so a lot of references to special songs that they shared I didn't know so a lot of the connection on that front was lost for me. Otherwise, a great read, a great love story, and of course a HEA!

Jennifer Crusie doing what she does best - the witty conversations, the creative characters. The only thing that kept this from being a "5" was the multiple uses of "Jesus" and "Christ" as curses. While I don't consider myself a bible-toting Christian, I'm not a fan of using these as expletives, and it seemed pretty prevalent in the book. Plus, Crusie is one of my favorite authors; it seemed like a lazy route for someone so creative.
