Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Janet Evanovich's 'Plum Lovin'' features quirky characters and comical situations, but character identity traits (race, gender, sexuality) are not pushed to the forefront nor do they crowd out the humor or the story. The focus remains on Stephanie's antics and the light-hearted mystery. Ideology does not override narrative flow.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional romantic banter and holiday themes are central to the plot. While the main character is a quirky, independent woman, the book doesn’t seek to lecture or deconstruct family, religion, or masculinity, most of the time, it’s all for laughs and entertainment.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is a clear absence of ideological preaching. Characters have a range of attitudes and quirks, and alternative viewpoints, even if a bit exaggerated for humor, are part of the book’s charm. Diversity of thought is a byproduct of the large cast and their comic foibles.
