This is not my favourite Jenny Crusie book. That leaves lots of room for manouvere as my favourite Jenny Crusie books are the perfect ginger beer of the book world. If you are wondering... in my lexicon that means they are spicy, cool and strangely sophisticated combined with a great sense of fun.
Plot: Incompatible thirty somethings overcome social and cutural barriers to realise a suit is more than just a suit and hippies are people too.
Characters: Really good characterisation - no surprise from Crusie as she is a writer who delivers believable people acting true to themselves whilst going through one hell of a plot arc. (It always seems strangely feasibly whilst you are reading).
What to love: All the secondary characters. A special mention goes out to Christine as I adored this character to bits and wish she had her own book
What to loathe: Sometimes I really wanted the lead couple NOT to get together - they were so much more annoying when in the same room. He became unbelievably controlling and she became mindlessly ranty; it was sometimes unpleasant to read. However it was true to the story and the characters.
Buy, Borrow or Bin: Buy
If this book was a drink it would be: A very lovely shop bought lemonade - not quite as good as homemade but you would be really glad you bought it - especially drinking it down at the beach in the sun.
Here is a link to the author page about the book including the first chapter so you can make your own mind up: Strange Bedpersons
And this is the book on Amazon so you can see what the book buying world thinks: Amazon
