Overweight, smelly, and obviously suffering from some kind of doggy depression, Fred is light-years from perky. But for all his faults, he does manage to put Nina face-to-face with Alex Moore, her gorgeous, younger downstairs neighbor.
Alex looks great on paper - a sexy, seemingly sane, surprisingly single E.R. doctor who shares Fred's abiding love for Oreos - but a 10-year difference in age, despite his devastating smile, is too wide a gap for Nina to handle.
Ignoring her insistent best friend, some interfering do-gooders, and the ubiquitous Fred - not to mention her suddenly raging hormones - Nina thinks anyone but Alex would be a better bet for a relationship. But the more silver-haired stiffs she dates, the more she suspects it's the young dog-loving doctor she wants to sit and stay!

Love ya Fred!

The author has written a story full of likable characters that you want to learn more about. The storyline is fun if somewhat predictable. The dog Fred is characterized perfectly.
If you are in the mood for a feel good romance, this is a great choice.
Narration on this one was very good. The narrator effectively voices male and female characters and uses a hollowed out noise technique to distinguish characters on the phone.
Enjoyable light romance

The narrator's voice is reminiscent of Nina Totenberg, who reports on the U.S. Supreme Court for NPR. Pleasant enough in short reports, but painful for the length of a book.
Another fun book by Ms. Cruisie

The narrator did a great job. I understand that some of the narrators for Ms Crusie books are not as enjoyable. I suggest a listen before purchasing.
I enjoyed this one very much and recommend

Don’t get me wrong the story itself was funny, sweet and relevant but, the right narrator is everything.
So fun!

I read the paperback several years ago and laughed a lot. I recently listened to the audiobook. I didn’t laugh because I knew what to expect, but I still enjoyed the story.
I was so drawn to the characters. I loved the slow building relationship between Nina and Alex. I enjoyed other characters as well, especially the 75 year old physically fit neighbor Norma.
AUDIOBOOK NARRATOR - Susan Ericksen:
I don’t like this narrator. It feels like a bossy person is yelling at me, lecturing me, nagging me. It’s jaring, irritating and stressful to listen to. There is no sweetness, softness or vulnerability in her voice. It’s loud. I don’t like monotone readers, but Susan Ericksen is too far the other way. I feel like she is overacting with artificial cheeriness, overly energetic. Her emotional interpretation of men is off. Alex sounds like a bossy female instead of a guy desiring her and wanting sex.

I've loved this story since the lurid purple cover originally appeared in my mail box as part of my old Harlequin subscription box, back in late 1996. It made me a Jenny Crusie reader, because she's always had a good sense of the ridiculousness of human beings; but as much as I've loved this story, for a long time, Agnes and the Hitman had supplanted it as my favorite Jenny Crusie book, quite a while ago now.
But I was looking for another Susan Ericksen listen one afternoon, and here it was...Fred, and Nina/Alex. The minute I saw it, I had to have it.
Hearing this dear old story in Susan's voices, has put Anyone but You BACK ON TOP as my favorite Jenny Crusie book. There's something so world-weary, yet hopeful in Susan's voices that it's impossible not to just...come back, and join Nina's story again and again.
Susan Ericksen makes the difference
