Review: Not my cup of tea
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 06 3, 2014
There was a lot of potential in the premise of this story. It started out extremely interestingly, but then things went haywire. There was too much fit into a novella for one. For two, the story was ridiculously goofy, not fun and humorous, like I expected, but over the top, hard to get into goofy. I had a difficult time staying in the story and really understanding the characters because their personalities seemed to jump around a lot. And I really didn’t understand Steve’s boss Jordan. Was she supposed to be a strong, powerful woman or a boss who likes to sexually harass her agents? Or both?I wonder if this had been longer, if things would have felt more settled. If we had more time to get to know Pepper and Steve, I wonder if I would have liked it more. Overall, this wasn’t a bad read; it just wasn’t my cup of tea. I’m sure there are people out there who will enjoy the frenetic pacing and overall spastic feeling of the characters. Unfortunately, I’m just not one of those people.Arc provided by the publisher via Netgalley for an honest review
