Anyone But You by Jennifer Crusie Review


Anyone But You
By Jennifer Crusie

Nina is turning forty and after years of being married to a controlling man she is finally free and has decided her life needs a cute perky puppy, but then she sees Fred. Fred is mild aged and smelly and on his way to being put down in the local shelter. When she brings him back to her apartment she teaches him to use the fire escape to let himself out and in, on one of his excursions he stumbles upon Nina’s downstairs neighbor thirty year old gorgeous doctor Alex. Soon Nina and Alex find themselves in a fun and flirtatious friendship but nothing more Nina knows she is too old for him until one day she winds up in his E.R. and realizes he isn’t as immature as he seems.

This was such a cute book with witty commentary and the most adorable dog. It is funny and well written the two combined bring to life a beautiful romance. The trials the two must overcome to be together are realistic which adds to the drama of this novel and in the end, like all good romances, there is a happily ever after. If you are a fan of contemporary romance, you should definitely give this one a try it is sure to please.

The Weird Sisters by Eleanor Brown Review


The Weird Sisters
By Eleanor Brown
Three estranged sisters return home when their mother announces she has cancer, though each one also has an alternative reason for returning home. The sisters are completely different from one another and over the course of this book they realize what they have in common is love, through love and overcoming their own demons we watch the sisters find their true places in the world.
Eleanor Brown did a wonderful job of drawing us into the world of the weird sisters and their dynamic family life with glimpses of the past and the struggles of the present. Each character was well written and thought out especially considering how completely different they are.  This is one of those “feel good” books that make you want to call up your own siblings and give them a hug. Moral of the story; life may not always turn out as we expected but in the end we can always find happiness.

Equilibrium by Betsy Miller Review


Equilibrium
By Betsy Miller

Emily is a recently divorced woman who stops off at a diner one night and finds herself making a connection with a man over soup.
Betsy Miller has once again proven what a wonderful writer she is; the details are superb in this short story making it easy to envision the masterpiece that Jim and Emily have created together. The make your own soup idea is very unique and having two people bond over the experience is very unexpected.
