“When I grow up, I want to be a character in a Jennifer Crusie book. These are great women! Fabulous, mature, and intelligent, with insecurities and worries that only make them more real … Part of Crusie’s magic is her ability to make all of her characters important. You find yourself rooting for the supporting characters as much as the leads. It’s impossible not to become invested in all of them.”
—Romance Journal
“Crusie gives readers a little something extra in her exploration of the emotional stages of divorce, the viability of marriage, and the value of self-honesty—all of which add up to an excellent fictional tale layered with a thought-provoking look at contemporary culture.”
—Amazon.com
“Crusie’s great gift is her ability to make readers laugh at the inanities of life with her spunky women and strong yet compassionate men: imagine a combination of Nick Charles from The Thin Man and the women of The First Wives Club.”
