bookwifereviews 's review for:

Metro Girl by Janet Evanovich
2.0

Okay so here the thing... I married into a racing family. Not nascar but like cross country racing. So I literally have to listen to car talk every single day of my life... and don't even get me started on the about of car talk I have to deal with during the holidays! I hate cars. I hate talking about cars. I especially hate NASCAR. I knew going into this book that the MC was a NASCAR driver. So that's on me. But he was so annoying about it. He brought it up in every other conversation. I understand it was suppose to be in a joking way but it still annoyed me. So I really didn't like him. I also didn't like Alex. She was just kind of silly. Nothing terribly wrong with her but I just didn't enjoy her like I did Stephanie or Lizzy. OH also the narrator's voice for Sam was not great.

I have been going back and reading all of Janet's books. Because I seriously love the Stephanie Plum books and I now love Lizzy's books. But I do not think this series will be for me. Especially since in the next book Alex will be working on Sam's NASCAR team. I just didn't enjoy them enough to deal with the car talk.
