The main characters are well-rounded and often goofily humorous, the dialogue is crisp and witty, and the plots are well paced. It&#8217;s a perfect beach read (or, as I like to say, excellent mind candy).<br \/>\nSizzling Sixteen is no exception. The plot is more urgent than normal (instead of just chasing after skips, Stephanie&#8217;s way of earning money is at stake) and some of the ancillary characters get more developed in this book.<br \/>\nI enjoyed this latest installment to the series, but there are some plot twists that are getting a bit old. The Joe Morelli v Ranger dilemma just makes me want to shake Stephanie and demand that she choose and stop angsting over it. And the plots aren&#8217;t particularly complicated. But, overall, it&#8217;s an entertaining book when you&#8217;re looking for a fun read that&#8217;s not too intellectually demanding.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/list\/1396812-may\">View all my reviews<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sizzling Sixteen by Janet Evanovich My rating: 3 of 5 stars I really like this series.
