Samantha's Reviews > Manhunting

Kate Svenson is on a mission. Her goal is to obtain one successful, non-jerk of a man to make her husband. The hunting ground of choice is a resort in Kentucky called Cabins. When Kate gets to the resort she soon finds out that her plan has too many holes that she didn’t take into account. There’s also the fact that all the men who go out with her usually have something bad happen to them before the end of the date... like heart attacks, etc. Then there’s Jake who doesn’t fit into her plan, but Kate finds herself spending an awful lot of time out on the lake with him wasting time that she should be spending on putting her plan into action.

I love Crusie’s writing, her books always promise a fun time. Manhunting was another short one by her, only about 250 pages. Jake and Kate were great to watch interact and it was fun to see them both gradually changing. The side characters were all fun too, I especially liked Nancy and the atmosphere of her bar. Kate’s interactions with her failed dates was another plus in the story.
