Anyone But You by Jennifer Crusie

2.0

The two stars are entirely for Fred. Fred was adorable and lovable just like the basset hounds I have owned. Unfortunately, Fred deserved better than this book. I'm not generally a fan of chick lit, but I have been told that Jennifer Crusie writes quality books. Maybe I chose the wrong one, but I didn't like this book at all. I thought the heroine's hang-ups about the age difference were overblown. There were the parts where lots of fighting could have been avoided by the characters actually talking to each other. There were the kooky (but not at all believable) side characters. There was the heroine, with her self-esteem issues. It basically read like it was written with a "how to write chick lit" handbook. Sad, because I really was hopeful, and the first chapter was hilarious!
