Comment: After reading Ms. Crusie's latest books, I've made it my business to search out her earlier books, and I'm glad that I've done so. I've found some gems, of which this is one. This time the twist on the romantic theme is that it involves a 40 year old woman and a 30 year old man.

Nina used to be the perfect corporate executive's wife, but after 15 years she realized that she wasn't happy, got divorced and began to finally live her own life. Alex is her downstairs neighbor, an emergency room doctor, and a serial dater. However, once he meets her, his life plans change and he sets out trying to find a way to convince her that she belongs in his life. Add to this mix Alex' brother Max (a gynecologist), Nina's friend Charity (who's about to write a book on her 12-man string of failed romances), and Fred (a part manic-depressive stray dog who's got a severe Oreo jones) and there are more than enough opportunities for the humorous scenes that Ms. Crusie does so well.

Nina and Alex are obviously a couple who are meant for each other, but before true love can triumph each must overcome their own personal obstacles - Nina's problem with dating someone so much younger, and Alex' family pressures and mistaken goals. But the story doesn't bog down with angst, and everything is leavened with humor. And, I was especially glad to see Nina's 40 year old self taking center stage, rather than being relegated to being a secondary character. It's so refreshing to read a romance that doesn't contain a dewy twenty-something . This is a fun book, and it's worth searching out and buying.

Summary: Charming
Comment: Nina, 40, gets a manic-depressive dog from the pound. The dog, Fred, meets her downstairs neighbor, Alex, and brings him home. Alex, 30, is immediately attracted to his upstairs neighbor, Nina. What follows is a very charming, very funny story about two people falling in love. It's a short book. I read it in one day. Very satisfying.

Summary: Romantic Times Review
Comment: The incomparable Jennifer Crusie's wonderful and thoroughly entertaining wit is given a chance to take center stage this month in ANYONE BUT YOU (4.5). From the moment a 40-year-old book editor is introduced to her neighbor-a handsome 30-year-old Emergency Room doctor-by her spirited dog, sparks and witty dialogue fly. Ms. Crusie does it like no one else.
