A review by estelleidekreads
Game On: Tempting Twenty-Eight by Janet Evanovich

2.0

whoever the ghostwriter was have obviously never read any of the diesel books and also hasn’t gotten the memo that the last book he was in was 24 not 14.5 so it hasn’t been 2 years since she’s seen him but a couple months

also ive been keeping track of when each book takes place to figure out steph’s age and it’s been september for 7 books even though time passes (few months between 27 & 28 and what sounds like 1-2 weeks between 26 & 27) yet it’s always september?!?! 

there’s always been consistency issues (eg steph was originally 6 for choo choo incident but a lot of the more recent book say she was 5) but this whole september shtick is really doing my head it - it just feels lazy at this point

the characters all felt like uncanny valley versions of themselves (except diesel who just wasn’t at all the same) and it was super annoying it put me in a bit of a reading slump

i did like all the cute morelli x steph bits tho
