Review: Pretty funny, but...

This novella's writing was excellent! The story was hilarious, & DeTarsio has a great style. This story was really more of 3.5 stars. My problem, though, was that I couldn't stand the heroine. Funny as she was, I couldn't believe not only her willingness to be so completely infatuated with someone, but also her willingness to switch the object of her infatuation so quickly. Or rather, I could believe it, I just couldn't respect it. And I tend not to be a big fan of heroines I can't respect. (The other characters had similar issues. I actually ended up liking La-Ura the best.) The ending pretty much sealed her fate for me. Not ever gonna respect her, though there'd been hope before then.So though I wasn't fond of the heroine, the book itself was hilarious & well-written. I'll definitely try something else by DeTarsio, but I'll be disappointed if all her characters are like these. I easily could have given this book 4, or even 5, stars had I been able to respect the heroine a little.If all that doesn't bother you, though, then definitely get this book. Even to me, it's certainly worth a buck.
