ANYONE BUT YOU

By Jennifer Crusie
ANYONE BUT YOU by Jennifer Crusie digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Part basset, part beagle, all Cupid…

For Nina Askew, turning forty means freedom—from the ex-husband, freedom from their stuffy suburban home, freedom to focus on what she wants for a change. And what she wants is something her ex always vetoed—a puppy. A bouncy, adorable puppy.

Instead she gets…Fred.

Overweight, middle-aged, a bit smelly and obviously depressed, Fred is light-years from perky. But he does manage to put Nina in the path of Alex Moore, her gorgeous, younger-by-a-decade neighbor.

Alex seems perfect—he's a sexy, seemingly sane, surprisingly single E.R. doctor—but the age gap convinces Nina that anyone but Alex would be better relationship material. But with every silver-haired stiff she dates, the more she suspects it's the young, dog-loving doc she wants to sit and stay!

Beaming Face with Smiling Eyes“This book feels like a classic, 90s rom-com. It was warm and nostalgic.”
“Ok, this was such a feel-good 90’s ROMCOM. There was no social media drama or texting, which was SO refreshing! Nina was so relatable and inspiring, again, so refreshing she was 40! Alex was swoon worthy from the very beginning lol. Honestly, I absolutely adored ALL of the characters. Norma is a legend. Her book club scene was SO good. Max’s growth and development were unexpected surprises, too. Charity seems like a blast! I found myself smiling from ear to ear many times throughout this book. It was so charming and fun. Absolutely recommend reading this!! (ebook)”
Beaming Face with Smiling Eyes“I wish this book had been written a decade later only because by then books were longer. Jennifer Crusie books are always quick but this felt like a dang SPRINT. I wanted more! More angst more strife more exploration more Fred!! Also oh my god please don’t give your dog Oreos even when he’s been good”
