Diversion

Seems I'm pretty lonely in my dislike of this book, but I'm ok with that. It didn't work for me for several reasons. The first problem was the characters. I couldn't stand Lucky and I didn't like Bo either. Their entire interactions for the first half of the book were constant childish bickering rather than entertaining banter. I like smartass characters, but Lucky was just an ass without the clever humor. Bo wasn't anything special either. After they hooked up, they didn't act like squabbling siblings quite as much, but the story dragged and bored me to tears. I wanted to DNF so many times while reading, and now I wish I had because the longer I read, the more I resented it and avoided reading altogether. Although the quality of writing wasn't bad, the fact this book made me not want to read in favor of pretty much any other activity for weeks means I cannot give it more than 1 star.
