Do-Over

I almost liked this series. The writing is good, I can get on board with the characters, especially as the series goes on. Problem? The shape of the stories seems off somehow. It's been a while since I've read the first book, so I can't remember well enough to comment on it, but both the second and third books in the series bugged me. The second seemed to quietly foreshadow a possible Big Fat Problem. The thread remained pretty much untied at the end of the book, but I had faith that that was because it was going to be a main point of the third book.

The third book built up even more to this Big Fat Problem. It practically screamed that This Was Going To Be A Big Fat Problem.

And then it wasn't. It all got brushed under the rug again, and everything was hunky dory.

Irritating. I want to love these books, but I can't.
