Didn’t do much for me. I mean. The disco stuff was fun. The pace was swift. Like yesterday’s story, it’s a story speckled with music trivia, and that is a good hook. And some of the snappy dialogue was endearing and entertaining. But the flat characters and familiar drama didn’t hold my attention. This story, like its main character, tried to hold my attention with sudden sex. It worked for a little while. Ah well.
