One for the Money by Janet Evanovich
3.0

So I didn't not enjoy this. I did the audio, narrated by Lori Petty, who I like and that made it fun to listen to. The story itself is pretty silly/unique, and although there were some eye roll moments I still thought it was a fun read. Keep in mind when you read it that it was written in 1994... there were a lot of ideas and practices towards women/men, as well as some stereotypes that were so incredibly typical... that I was like, oh... this is a bit uncomfortable, as it is so unacceptable today. Once I was able to acknowledge completely that this was written a while back then I was able to enjoy it more. The granny was hilarious and Stephanie (while being... frustrating to deal with through most of the boo) was still a pretty bad ass woman and I applaud her strength and stubbornness. I actually own almost this whole series in paperback as my mom let me steal them, but I think I am more interested in the audio, especially if Lori Petty continues to narrate.
