Hardwired

Sigh. I wanted this to be something I really liked - but it really struck me as CrossFire series Extra Lite, minus the scorching chemistry, witty dialogue, and gripping narrative. I re-read that series every year and a half or so, because it's impossible to not to get pulled into the dysfunction and then revel in the couple's increasing health and sanity. And did I mention the chemistry?? Sizzle. Here - there's some level of promise, but it all feels like exaggerated emotion and a light sketch of people and narrative. It's a quick read, but not compelling. Too bad.
