Anyone But You by Jenny Crusie

For Nina Askew, turning forty means freedom from the ex-husband whose career always came first, from their stuffy suburban home. Freedom to have her own apartment in the city, freedom to focus on what she wants for a change. And what she wants is something her ex always vetoed a puppy. A bouncy puppy to cheer her up. Instead she getsFred. 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 Freds abiding love for Oreos but a ten-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 with every silver-haired stiff she dates, the more she suspects its the young dog-loving doctor she wants to sit and stay
