JUST A GURL is NOT a good short story.

I rarely leave reviews that aren’t at least 3 stars.
Buy this really bad. Very disconnected. If you can’t write a descent epistolary, maybe stick with third or even 1st person.

I really liked the innovate writing of this author. Very compelling story.
However, it was somewhat dampened by the AI narration.
Main character was mostly ok. Some things were very mechanically heavy. It was distracting. Many of the other women ‘s “voices” were hard to discern from main character. Also, the men! Can AI not produce a decent male voice? The ones here were more feminine tan the females. I would love to listen to more but this author, but not until she uses real people for narration.

Just about every single trope out there has been included in this novel. It was so “expected”and overdone…not the freshness the title implies.
(Also, narrator need to do due diligence and double check word pronunciation.)
So disappointed.

Vito’s Methis is an amazing novelist. The more criminal fiction I read by authors that were once attorneys, the more I find how much more I enjoy them than by other writers. I have read several books by this author and cannot get enough! His understanding of the criminal system and his development of characters is outstanding.

The ending was especially disappointing. So was the outcome of one the main characters.
Narration was inconsistent.

Interesting story.
BUT…..narrator should be fired! In the first several chapters Agoraphobia was pronounced AGROphobia instead of AGOROphobia. Chapter 4 or so she started pronouncing it correctly. A few more chapters later, she reverted to mispronouncing it again. It really distracted from the story. Also, she gave several of the characters really strange voices…almost robotic.
Seriously???? Do your homework!

I truly loved the first two books in this series, as I have of all other Lisa Jackson books.
But I was disappointed by this one.
First, the male narrator was horrible… it sound like he was biting out and growling his parts. It was very off putting.


2nd: SPOILER ALERT:

Not much of a spoiler since you find out in the first chapter, James wakes up from a coma and has amnesia. REALLY?
Was this story AI generated?
In the first book, his mother woke up in the hospital after a car crash and had AMNESIA! In book two, his half sister was in a coma.
Then the not so twisted twist, there are twins. Hasn’t the twin thing been done to death? The last “secret” I won’t give away…but it was not a surprise.

A bit different, which was refreshing. I don't think I have read a Luanne Rice book that was not good, and this one was especially good.
the only con..it would have been even better if narratorwould double-check pronunciation of ALL words.

Two Women Walked into a Bar is less than an hour long. I don’t think it can be called a short story. it might could be called a premise. Not sure why a publisher orAmazon even put it here. iI's quite depressing., with many loose "threads".
it was a waste of time I will never get back. SMH

Very disappointed in this novel.
I have read or listened to every single one of this author's novels and have been a huge fan for years.
I have never figured out the ending.
This was just too obvious from the beginning. I didn't make one connection until a little later, but there really weren't any twists or turns.
Narration did not help... mispronounced words for one, and also some characters were indistinguishable from each other.
I will continue reading this author, unless This style continues. I lay quite a bit of blame at the feet of her "team" . One or of them should should have spoken up.
(This review was extremely hard for me to write.)
