 - Much better than the reviews would lead one to believeBecause of all the negative reviews posted here, I decided to get on the "wait" line at my local library for this book. After reading the thirteen books that proceeded it, I fully expected to be a few chapters, throw the book across the room and curse Janet Evanovich for ruining the book I look forward to every summer. Then something unexpected happened. I laughed outloud. And then it happened again. I found myself unable to put this book down. It was thoroughly enjoyable and the Stephanie we have all come to know and love. Several people have given a synopsis of the book, so I will not repeat what they had to say. I will point out a few things that have been mentioned over and over as flaws in the book. The first of these is the allegation that Joe may have slept with his cousin. The cousin involved is a very distant relative (like a third cousin) and the allegation is by a crazy person. Secondly, people did not believe Lula as a Bridezilla. Seriously, would Lula be anything else but a bridezilla? The supporting characters are as wacky as ever. My only complaint is not enough Grandma Mazur, but there is never enough Grandma Mazur for me. Janet should write a whole book with Grandma Mazur as the lead character. Don't let the bad reviews scare you! This is an enjoyable book! Rating:  - Laugh Out Loud Hilarious, Her Best So FarI can't believe this book hasn't been rated at least 4 1/2 stars overall. This is really one of Evanovitch's best books so far. It continues on with the Plum saga very well while giving us new characters while revisiting the old. Since I recently have garnered an Audible subscription I have gone through Plum series again. They do nothing but get better with every book. I laughed everytime I heard it which is 3 times so far. Rating:  - I had to return this bookI don't think this book even deserves one star. The story started out fairly well but derailed less than two chapters in. The lack of plot, flat characters and the sophomoric humor were pretty bad, but the hint of incest between Joe Morelli and his cousin made me gag and demand my money back. If only I could get back the time I wasted reading this piece of trash. Rating:  - Not very satisfyingI have been a loyal fan throughout her series. I have always waited excitedly for her next book. I always found them hilarious, quirky, and romantic. However, this last book I did not like at all. It seems it was done very quickly and I couldn't conect with the characters as I ussually do. Just very unsatisfied with this book. Ms. Evanovich needs to come up with some new ideas. All the characters seem like there are stuck in a time zone and don't seem to move forward. I would like to see something more indepth about the difference in relationships between Ranger and Stephanie and Moreli and Stephanie. Rating: - Haven't read yet I haven't read this yet waiting for the paper back. I just wanted to say I love the first few books, I'm up to Hot Six now, and have the rest,I buy them to add them to my collection but lately I have been thinking, How many more books can she write in this series, Soon it is going to get boring and overdone. I'll buy the 14 one just to have it for my collection. I hope that the book is better than some of the comments left about it
