Book Review By Lauren
Crazy for You by Jennifer Crusie

Quinn McKenzie has always lived what she calls a "beige" life. She's dating the world's nicest guy, she has a good job as a high school art teacher, she's surrounded by family and friends who rely on her, and she's bored to the point of insanity. But when Quinn decides to change her life by adopting a stray dog over everyone's objections, everything begins to spiral out of control.

Suddenly, Quinn begins to view Nick, her ex-brother-in-law, differently. Nick is no longer just a dependable friend, but a sexy, gorgeous, single man. When did that begin to change?

While Quinn pursues Nick, Darla Ziegler tries to renew her marriage. She purchases enticing lingerie and changes her hair, but her husband, Max, seems to be entirely oblivious. Will Darla give up?

Quinn McKenzie's "beige" life is beginning to gain vivid colors. She's coping with dog-napping, breaking and entering, seduction, sabotage, stalking, more secrets than she really wants to know, and two men who are suddenly crazy...for her!
