Review of 'High five' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

I'll probably read more books in this series, when i want to bang my head against a wall. The books are good for mindless reading, but this one was ridiculous. This wasn't comedy, this was craziness, and Stephanie doesn't get any more savvy as the series pregresses. If anything, she gets ditzier. I can't nderstand how anyone could find that attractive. Comedy is also good when it's balanced by other emotions, of which there are very little. Some anger and jealousy, but no grief for a lost uncle, and she's really too stupid to be afraid of Ramirez. So you just have scene after scene of unrealistic disaster.
