Anyone but you / Jennifer Crusie / 224 pages

     Thankfully I listened to this on cd as it did not come close to a page-turner.
Definitely set in the 1990's, the plot revolves around Nina, newly divorced, forty, and the proud mother of a part basset that she saves from "death row" at a shelter.  She, of course, is not interested in another marriage, but meets a man who, of course, is a doctor.  The sticking point is that she is 10 years older than he is.  All this sounded good in the book proposal, but becomes tedious as the plot continues to go around and around before she finally gets the insight she needs and all ends well.
    Usually, the author is more amusing than in this book.  It was dated, but not historical, had male/female stereotypes while trying to break them.  Meh.
