same same same. Still makes me giggle. I admit I'd like some progress for these characters.

I think it is time for her to end this series. The last 5 or 6 books have all been the same. And... PICK A MAN!!!! Geez......

Real talk: the main I listen to these audiobooks is because Lorelei King (the narrator) is magical and brings these characters to life. Other than that they are pretty formulaic and Stephanie just seems to have so much dumb luck. That said, they are nice to have on when I'm busy doing other things, like cooking, cleaning, or walking the dog. I can listen and enjoy and not miss too much if I'm not giving them my full and undivided attention. But really though, how does one actually survive without a toaster?

Funniest one in a long time!

We all know these books can be repetitive but so was Laverne and Shirley and I used to watch that all the time. Sometimes I just want something funny and familiar and who better than Stephanie and her crew?
adventurous funny lighthearted medium-paced

Good fun holiday reading which I'm sure I'll have forgotten by the time I finish this review.

This one was just okay. Not totally outlandish, but as a result very much circling around established territory.
