I like Stephanie, in large part because she's not perfect: she makes mistakes, sometimes stupid ones, and I can sympathize with that. But she also learns, and soldiers through adversity.

A lot of people said this was funny. While there were some amusing bits, I admit I didn't find it all that funny. But that may be because I didn't grow up in Trenton, and I don't know all the people in Stephanie's world, though it's clear that Evanovich knows them quite well.

SpoilerI've taken off one star because of the villain's speech at the end, explaining the whole plot.
