Imagine Owen Wilson saying "Wow" in a completely sarcastic way.
Eesh. Just EESH.
Rather than trying to justify my thoughts prior to writing them, I'm just going to start by writing the notes I made while reading this one and go from there.
The Notes:
- Absolutely flat. This is flatter than a three day old soda left open on the counter.
- It could have leaned toward the cheesy fun angle that goes with using this particular plot, but she swerved, which means it's not cheesy or fun. It's just awkward.
- The characters are flatter than flat - caricatures instead of characters.
- Poor use of slang. Not only will this quickly date the book, leading to a loss of what little favor it may find, and thus having no re-read value, it makes for a very cringey read.
- This is like a bad Oceans fanfic crossed with a bad Italian Job fanfic, and we're not talking one of the good Oceans movies either, we're talking about that crappy Ocean's 8 version. Just - ICK.
Do not recommend.
