Nina Askew, newly divorced, moves to Florida with her dog Fred and settles into a quiet life in a retirement-community condo. Her new neighbour is Alex Moore, a man who gets caught up in her life more than either expects. Their awkward encounters grow into friendship and then into romance, while meddling friends and family provide interference. Jennifer Crusie's early romantic comedy is written with a light, funny touch.
Fans of contemporary romance with comic dialogue and second chances in midlife will find this a pleasant, quick read. It also suits anyone who enjoys stories where a dog helps shape the plot.
Practical, clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Escapist Adventurer. Which reader are you?
