Oh Jennifer. You’re so fluffy and light and fun and innocuous. Sometimes, that’s just what a girl needs.
Nina Askew has just moved in to her new apartment on the second floor of a three flat building. She’s left her dolt of an ex-husband, and she’s forty and fabulous. Well, fabulous on the outside, but as any woman of a certain age knows, sometimes it’s hard to be fabulous on the inside. But Nina’s giving it the old college try, and even goes so far as to set out to get herself a puppy, something her ex would never allow.
Turns out, though, that dogs pick their owners, not the other way around, and Nina comes home with Fred. Fred is overweight, gassy, smelly, and has a tendency to fall off the fire escape. Which puts Nina in the direct path of her downstairs neighbor, a gorgeous doctor named Alex. Alex is smart. Alex is funny. Alex is kind. Alex likes Nina. But Alex is ten years younger than Nina.
Of course, there are some misunderstandings, and Alex has some of his own demons to fight. But this is a Jennifer Crusie novel, so you know there’s going to be a happy ending.
