Now or Never: Stephanie Plum 31 by Janet Evanovich

4.0

whoever ghostwrote 30 & 31 is defo much better than the last few ones we’ve had!!

still a lot of inconsistencies e.g. age of choo choo, forgetting the “vampire” FTA who would scream in the sun a few books back, etc

but i genuinely enjoyed this one it was super fun and i think she chose the right guy

really hated the whole “won’t last 2 months” comment tho like give it a rest plssss

i likely won’t keep going with this series, this feels like a good ending. she seems to be taking things more seriously & i’m worried future books will go back to the “useless stephanie in a love triangle constantly cheating” formula bc every time there’s been a tiny bit of character development in previous books, the sequel completely undid it and i’m having none of that

also bob & mr big are the goodest boys

Dirty Thirty by Janet Evanovich

4.0

I LOVE BOB SO MUCH!!!

I reckon they got complaints about bob being fed toxic things bc they made a point of showing he wasn’t fed raisins or onions etc which i found hilarious because i sent my friend a 5 min voicenote complaining about steph feeding him raisins in book 6 😂😂

the whole story was really fun. defo wish we’d had more morelli cause i love him but the end had me kicking my lil feet

MUCH BETTER PROPOSAL THAN RANGER’s!!!! im so sad about her being evicted tho her apartment is a staple

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

Meeting Millie by Clare Ashton
Did not finish book. Stopped at 37%.

it’s way too slow and there’s just no chemistry which just isn’t the vibe i want from romance

also both main characters are so annoying
