Dragged a bit in the middle (lots of lust but not much actual tension) but overall, a fluffy, fun read. One thing I really like about Crusie is that she has faith in guys--her heroes are always likable, decent men who have their flaws but also internal lives. I was sorry Max didn't have a bigger role in this one, but Alex was great!

I was recommended this book by my dearest friend Nicole who knew I was looking for a book with a plot like this one. Super super cute. Both characters were relatable and super funny. I enjoyed the pace of the story as well as their chemistry. Very recommended light and sweet read.

This started out fun, but the part I liked, how Fred the dog ended up in the middle of everything, was lost about halfway through. It also ended a bit abruptly, like the author just wanted it done.

This was my first Jennifer Crusie novel and it was a fun easy read. It is easy to get into and Nina is a character who is easy to love. I think the thing I liked most about this novel was the realness of Nina, she is like your average woman with all the same insecurities about herself and her body.
Alex is an interesting character and doesn't seem to be your typical 30 year old hero. They are a perfect couple it just takes them a while to figure it out. Fred, of course, regularly steals the show. He is the under-active dog that Nina got from the dog shelter. There are a couple of fun secondary characters who just add to the fun.
If you are looking for a fun quick read with a great happy ending then this is a book for you. It helps if you love dogs!
