Review: Really liked Lucy Wagner Gets in Shape. This, not so much.

Like the title says, I really liked the first book in this series and was excited to see another! But this book was just...not a good follow-up effort. I found Jen to be unlikable at times, especially when (most) readers had already come to like Lucy, and I found the story INCREDIBLY rushed. Looking back, Amazon equates this book to a 62-page novel, so I guess that's why. When I glanced down at my Kindle screen and saw I was already 46 percent of the way through, I was stunned. It felt like the book had just started...and, well, I guess it had.The book didn't read like it had much of a plot, but then when it's so short, it's hard to jump in and carve out a detailed world and detailed chain of events. This read more like a diary entry than anything else. For 99 cents I feel like a bit of a heel for complaining, but I had no idea what I was getting into when I downloaded this book. Just my two cents.
