by Jennifer Crusie
My re-read of this book has been an interesting, eye-opening experience of how time and life can alter one's view of a story. Maddie Faraday is the "Good Girl" in a small town run on gossip, and married to her high school sweetheart, Brent, the "Golden Boy" of Frog Point, who predictably can't kee...
MINOR SPOILERS FOR THE PLOT OF THIS BOOK IN THE REVIEW: Maddie Faraday is cleaning out her husband's car and discovers a pair of women's underpants under the seat that certainly aren't hers. This isn't the first time he's cheated on her, and she decides that enough is enough. Even though she knows...

Go me - I finished a book! Woohoo!Ok...I have come to the conclusion that Crusie's strong point is she's great at character studies; it's just that sometimes I really don't relate well to the character she's created.Maddie is a respectable hobbit who never does anything unexpected - well, other tha...

I particularly love that Maddie's wayward husband, while not ...

Em had me drawn in emotionally. C.L. and Maddie were equal parts just plain entertaining and steamy. I loved how Maddie went ...
This book is a caper and a drama. It mixes in equal proportions murder mystery and comedy, romance and betrayal, friendship and lust, motherhood and embezzlement, all happening in a small town Frog Point. Of course it does. What else could happen in Frog Point? Don’t you just love the name? The nove...
Stopped on pg.68
I have loved every book I have read by Jennifer Crusie so far....with the exception of this one. I only made it about 1/2 way through this one and could just not bring myself to finish (even though I kinda wanted to know what happened to Brent...just not enough to continue listening)I found myself v...
