Summary: Only interesting if you are in junior high
Review: I bought this book because I thought it might be a fun read but I was terribly disappointed. The characters are one-dimensional and extremely boring and the plot is riduculously stupid. The ending is something like you might read in one of my seventh grade students' favorite books. As a teacher, I felt that Quinn and Bill's professional lives were nothing like any teacher I know. I'm a dog lover and I didn't even like the dog. If you feel compelled to read this book just grab one of the Sweet Valley High Series books--they are a quicker read and will leave you about as fulfilled.

Summary: A Soap Opera
Review: I have to agree with some of the other reviewers here. What was the point of this story? I was in the mood for something humorous and I love to read about dogs. So, the first few pages were promising. But the story never really went anywhere. It was like reading a soap opera without the suspense. I managed to finish the book (always hopeful something interesting would happen), but I feel like I wasted my time.

Summary: disappointing mix
Review: I wanted to like this book, but somehow I just didn't. The mix of tacky sex, limp suspense, and contrived romance really didn't work for me.

Summary: Strange mix for a "romantic romp"?
Review: I must be missing something here. Although I found the characters well defined and the dialogue sexy and lively, I had trouble relating to any of them. I found the women to be petty, bitter whinners and the men to be pathetic imbeciles. The only one who knew what they wanted was Bill and he turned out to be an abusive stalker. This is my first book by Ms. Cruise. I'm willing to try another one to see if its me or the author.

Summary: need to escape?
Review: Then use this excellent book. It will transport you out of your life and into the world of Quinn. Quinn is fed with her normal life and longs for something more. When a dog (yes a dog!) drops into her lap she decides this is the sign from fate she has been waiting for. Quinn is now ready to take on her new life and Tibbett, OH.This book allows us to 'hear' Quinn's thoughts and it adds quite a bit to the depth of Quinn. In the most intimate moments Quinn is still Quinn and it makes her all the more likable. This book is great for anyone who sees the 'perfect man' under her nose and wants to do something about it. An A++++

Summary: A Repeat of Tell Me Lies
Review: If you want to reread Tell Me Lies, then read this book. The plot, the characters, the foibles, the passions - everything is the same except for some name changes. I found Tell Me Lies to be original, hysterical, beautifully written, captivating - but why write an identical book? I know it must be difficult to break from your artistic style, i.e., groups like Boston (oh oh, showing my age!) in which every song sounds like the previous one! That said, based on Tell Me Lies, I still look forward to Jennifer's next book.

Summary: Fun, Fun ,Fun !
Review: What a refreshing book! Jennifer Crusie is wonderful. She has an incredible talent to make her characters so real....the inner monologues of Quinn are hilarious! I got so hooked I went and bought her other books and they are just as good! A must read.

Summary: Can't share the enthusiasm
Review: This is the story of Quinn and her friends, a group of incredibly gossipy small town thirty-somethings who seem perpetually confused. Quinn falls in love with a mangy dog and this triggers her desire for a change in her routine life. And the changes come fast. OK, I liked the fact that these are ordinary people and that the book is about ordinary life, and there is some humor but the whole time while reading it, I felt I was watching a sitcom. So I'll recommend it to people under 40, not to middle aged folks who, hopefully, are enjoying secure relationships and don't want to read about nutcase behavior.
Rating:
Summary: Funny!
Review: If you want to chuckle and laugh at the absurdity of life read this book! Jennifer Cruisie wrote a delightful book about a woman who decided that her life was indeed hers and she goes about declaring it. A wonderful and entertaining story with a cast of characters that are equally endearing.

Summary: Fun
Review: I have read five books in the last two weeks, including Linda Lael Miller & Susun Elizabeth Phillips new one. I threw them away and kept this one! I have been looking for a new author to read and Jennifer Crusie fits the bill. This book is very funny, full of relationships and very sexy!
