Ok, I love books. I love reading. I love books about books, bookstores, and reading. I do not like books about libraries and librarians.

I don't know why. Probably because it's like I never escape work, and I spend the whole time comparing myself to the librarian in the book.... Yeah, that's probably it.

All that to say, I have a bit of a bias when it came to No Offense. I couldn't enjoy it, even though I love Meg Cabot books, because Molly was a librarian.

I think the best word to describe No Offense is bland. The relationship wasn't very compelling; the crime/mystery wasn't intriguing, not to mention one of the main characters is in law enforcement, and there's no discussion of serious issues.

The only time I laughed during the book is when Molly doesn't know what bags is, describes the game's setup, and admires John's skills at the game at length.

It wasn't good, but it wasn't terrible. Just bland.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
