Meg Powers as grown-up actress/building super becomes an unwilling private investigator. I think EEW has firmly entered into the Sarah Dessen camp, where I'm happy to encounter the same character over and over again in different settings with a different name, because I wasn't really ready for those earlier books to end anyway.
Like the early version of The President's Daughter, this one had some awesome dated fashion:
Craig answered the door, wearing a red headband, bicycle pants, an ancient Evita t-shirt, and Capezio dance sneakers.
Um, WOW. That was on page 2. I almost put it on Twitter. Other blasts from the past: brand-new shiny white Tretorns (remember those?), an office-to-nightclub black Victoria's Secret dress (I'm sure my mom owned at least one of these), and leggings with oversized tops all made appearances.
It was perhaps even more lesbionic than [bc:The Road Home|247962|The Road Home (Point Signature)|Ellen Emerson White|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173116527s/247962.jpg|1410018], but sadly never made it past homoerotic overtones. And by overtones, I mean Jude Law-Robert Downey Jr-Sherlock Holmes style. Here's hoping that the next one will go all the way!
This wasn't really as good as her YA novels, but I'd certainly read the sequel if it ever came out.
