Review: Strange Bedpersons

Strange BedpersonsStrange Bedpersons by Jennifer Crusie


My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars


This book is an early Jennifer Cruise novel and is different from her recent works. The plot is slightly formulaic and predictable. The dialogue however is witty and the humor elements make the story interesting. Tess is a feminist do-gooder and Nick is a career oriented lawyer. They are extreme opposites in everything and as it always does in world of romance, opposites attract. What follows is a lot of adjustment and growing up for both the characters. I found the chemistry between the two primary characters a little weak but that was obvious as she spent most of the book cataloguing his faults and he spent most of the book trying to turn her into what he likes. However, the other characters in the book were well sketched out and fun. The ending however was very predictable.

All in all a light read, a nice way to spend a couple of hours.
