Review: Not likeable...

I'll deal with each of the books individually.Blogger Girl: Of the three books, this was the most likeable character. I did find it difficult to believe that she was so into writing her blog but so oblivious or denying of her own desire to write. Her "ah-hah" moment seemed contrived.A State of Jane: Of the three main characters of the three novels in this set, Jane was the least sympathetic character. I was itching to slap her by the 5th chapter. Her self-pity, self-absorption, and yet total lack of any self-perception, made her annoying. I found myself hoping for her to receive her comeuppance, and mentally cheering when everyone got angry and fed up with her.Just Friends with BenefitsI confess I couldn't wade through this one. Another book where the main characters had some connection with lawyers and paralegals? Enough already. I couldn't summon enough interest in the main characters to keep them straight. In the end, I just read the epilogue -- which gave me the gist of the plot line anyway -- and called it a day.Overall, I found the main characters to be whiney, self-involved, lacking in insight to their own motivations or the motivations of others, and shallow. I doubt I will buy another of this writer's books.
