This little romantic novel is funny, like many Crusie’s novel, but it feels undercooked somehow. Or fragmental. Definitely not up to Crusie’s usual standard of excellence. As if the author wrote a novel, and then someone told her that only half of it would be published, so she had to select half of ...
Just when I am ready to 'embrace' M/F contemporary romance again, I have to stumble into this BLAH story. At first I though, "Hey, I used to like Jennifer Crusie's older stories, so this might work". Especially since this is supposed to be a revised version. Oh, how WRONG I was!!How wrong? Let me co...
Linc Blaise lies in an interview so he could stand a better chance of being hired by a private college. He needs to find a fake fiancé quickly for the follow up meeting. Daisy Flattery has run out of money and her prospects for making enough from her art seem slim. It's a perfect storm for two peopl...
I love Jennifer Crusie's "voice," its pitch perfect for romantic comedy. I would sell some of my relatives to attain that seemingly effortless (yeah I know it isn't really) light, witty individualistic warmth. This is an early one and the plot has some holes but its still that same wonderful voice...
This book was not bad, but it certainly didn't wow me either. It was totally predictable--which is fine, but it seemed like it was missing something that I can't put my finger on. Maybe it is because this story has been "done" am gazillion times. Boy wants a job-boy needs a fiance to get said job...
I started this thinking, ho hum, another uptight guy meets free-spirited chick book, but Crusie really made it work. I would love to be able to read this book as she would have written it later in her career, because I think she could have made it deeper and even better in a longer format.As is, it...
I loved the characters in this book SO MUCH. I especially adored Linc with his uptight presentation and subversive scholarship. Seriously, I knew I would love him as soon as I saw the title of his first book--I can't remember it exactly but it was something like "The Nineteenth-Century Sporting Ev...
I loved the main lady, but the guy lacked sparkle. He was in fact a stuffed shirt and I felt that she ended up having to change too much for him without him making much of and effort at all. But I really liked all the other characters and the story just clicked along Crusie style so I didn't throw i...
