Basketball Jones by E. Lynn Harris

2.0

I was looking for something fluffy to get through a long road trip and found this at the library. Sounded like it might be a twist on romance type genres, which made me a little interested. It's soapy as hell. I expected that, but by the end (it was short and I felt like I had to finish it) I was yelling NO WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT at the characters in the book and I rolled my eyes so hard I thought they might fall out. The characters aren't likable, and seem drawn as broad caricatures. Every outfit is described in brand name dropping excess, and I found that really distracting. Just didn't hit the spot.
