Too much superficial banter. Too much quirky, whimsical cleverness. 
'Ha Ha, I'm so witty, and can return a barb, and keep this repartee going for pages and pages that readers never get a break from all my CLEVERNESS.'

I started for the plot, but I'm at chapter 6, 22% through, and I'm missing the emotional heart of the characters and story. (probly doesn't help that I just finished Lisa Kleypas' amazing Scandal in Spring right before this)

FMC: Even when Roberta is alone, she still has a clever, ironic comment to make about her situation. And that situation cuts away from any genuine connection I can feel for the characters. 

I wanna know how they actually feel about something and whether what they SAY they feel is actually true or not. I want to be able to understand the emotional heart of a character, to at least know and see they HAVE one.

DNF, unfortunately.

If her other books are written similarly, I likely won't read her others. Wompwomp
