Maybe This Time by Jennifer Crusie
4.0
Maybe This Time is 4 1/2 stars.
I haven't read a Jennifer Crusie novel in far too long and really wish that she would write more and this book reminded me of why I appreciate her writing so much.
Stepping into Crusie's world is definitely not like stepping into the world of most chick lit writers today. Her characters seem very real and their adventures different.
Maybe This Time is a lot ghost story (Turn of the Screw) and a little bit romance. It has humor, intellect, and style. Crusie doesn't rely on cutesie to get her job done, but maybe a little bit of quirk.
Why just 4 1/2 stars then? I found that the book ran a little long. While I was very happy to be in Crusie's world again, the last twist may have been just one too many.
Anyway, fun read. I would definitely recommend to other readers who enjoy humor, romance, and mystery mixed with the supernatural.
