Charlie All Night by Jennifer Crusie
1.0
Though I'm normally a paranormal romance reader Crusie came highly recommended for her characters' witty banter. There was some in [b:Getting Rid of Bradley|33734|Getting Rid of Bradley|Jennifer Crusie|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168462749s/33734.jpg|2025892], but none here.
Not only was the conversation dull, but sometimes it made no sense. Charlie says he's going to miss someone's jokes when I can't remember a single punchline being delivered. Allie reminds Charlie not to be controversial, then gets into a long discussion about sex on air with few reservations. It didn't add up.
Nor did the hijinx at the radio station. I was taken out of the story multiple times when I asked myself, would that really happen? Are studios really set up that way? Why is the news on a cassette, wouldn't someone be reading that live? And so on.
For leaving me frustrated, sometimes confused, and not entertained, one star.
