Manhunting / Jennifer Crusie

Manhunting by Jennifer Crusie. 216 p.

I forgot to take a book to my aunt's house while catsitting, so I reread one by one of my favorite authors. Kate's a goal-oriented, successful businesswoman whose life is missing...something. Her friend Jessie thinks Kate needs a husband, so she sends Kate to a golf resort in Kentucky to meet successful businessmen and find the man of her dreams amongst them. She meets Jake, who gave up his successful business career to be a groundskeeper at the resort; his life is missing something too. His brother Will thinks that Jake needs a wife. Naturally, after snapping at each other for 2/3 of the book, Kate & Jake realize that they need each other. Now if they could just figure out how to solve their conflicting ideas about how and where to live their lives. This is Crusie's first book, and it's not her best, but it still features plenty of her hilarious dialogue.
