The action was almost too fast-paced, and the characters seemed to be bouncing off each other. Reading it was making me tired. The second thing about the story that was less than satisfying were the secondary characters of Raven and Charlotte. They are too one-dimensional. She's portrayed as an air-head whose main concern is what fork to use for the appropriate food.
Social standing is everything.
A little dense, a little shallow, she is concerned that Russell's socks match. Raven is the gentle giant, described as having a heart as big as his feet, who never quite knows what's going on around him. He's either being extremely sweet or on a testosterone surge. Every time I saw Raven, I pictured John Belushi's character from Animal House . Raven and Charlotte were on stage too much.
