Affliction

This is closer to having a plot than this series has seemed to require in a while, but it's so painfully repetitive. Characters insta-hate Anita, for all the same ol' same ol' reasons; a pile of lovers praise how great she supposedly is with relationships; she constantly swears it's no one's business who she's having sex with and then never actually makes sure it's no one else's business, yadda yadda. Threat wraps up in the last five pages with a big lazy handwave that just seems like “eh, it's done because I say so and my page count/deadline is done.”

I keep skimming this series when I notice ‘em at the library because I rather enjoyed the first 5 or so, but they've just been boring an/or disappointing for so long. Handy for insomnia, though. Possibly also for drinking games, with the repetition, but that may prove fatal for most people.
