About half way through the Audible narration, I got really bored. I can't say I really bought it and it would have been nice to have someone actually dislike her for being too good-two-shoes and naive. Yet again, we have new characters introduced who fall for her sweetness and fall all over themselves to help her. In addition, it gets tiring to have everyone, including all the enemies, falling in love with Juliet instead of disliking or destroying her. But there wasn't enough Kenji to go around to offset the saccharine romance. Fortunately, we had some great scenes with Kenji again - he's always a welcome injection of self effacing humor to keep us from taking the situations too seriously. It felt like the entire book was the following scene ad nauseum: Juliet: "I'm not sure what to do." Warner: "I'm so in love with Juliet, it hurts." Juliet: "I'm not sure what to do now." Warner: "Juliet is so beautiful, it's painful" Juliet: "What do I do know - I am not sure." Warner: "Juliet is my world, she's so perfect." I kept waiting for a plot to kick in but it was pretty much a love letter to those fans who wanted more Warner mooning over Juliet. As much as I enjoyed the other books in this series, I had a hard time with Restore Me.
