2.0

This book started off very interestingly, but I didn't think it was as good as the first one. I really liked that Alexi maintained her spirited nature throughout, but I had a hard time with the (essentially) play acting in the bedroom... and there was just a little more bedroom than I really wanted in this book, particularly since it was always the same thing, no spice. Because this was the case for me, I actually ended up rapidly skimming the last couple of chapters and completely skipped the bed (or lack of bed) scenes. This one also, oddly, seemed way more cheesy than the first one and it had me laughing most times, not because it was funny, but because I was generally incredulous over the silliness of various moments. I'm mildly curious about the next two books, but I'm not even close to being in a rush to get to them. Ultimately, I thought that the first book in this series was surprisingly entertaining and interesting, but that this one just didn't live up to it.
