Accidentally re-read this book this week. It has been re-released with a new cover and I recalled the title but wasn't sure if I had read it. I got about 200 pages into the book thinking “this sounds familiar but I'm just not sure.” This is one of the more hooky concepts for Crusie. The protagonists are a liberal, tree-hugging girl and a Republican, corporate-climber man. As one of Crusie's earlier works, it doesn't have the charm or complexity of her more recent work. I would have rather re-read [b:Tell Me Lies 33725 Tell Me Lies Jennifer Crusie http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168462740s/33725.jpg 1381440], [b:Faking It 33729 Faking It Jennifer Crusie http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41NZWEPKT0L.SL75.jpg 726930], [b:Welcome to Temptation 33727 Welcome to Temptation (Dempsey's, 1) Jennifer Crusie http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168462742s/33727.jpg 2563621] instead.
