Have to agree with others in that I didn't care much for Jazz and I really didn't really care one way or another if things worked out. I also agree that she didn't feel at all believable as a female character.
Overall I didn't think too much of it.

It's fairly common for a novelist to try to re-create the feel of a big hit. Most novelist tend to either get past that and grow or they fall by the way side. I do think that writers do tend to have specific characteristics that is common in their works, in the computer world it's called a look and feel. I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing.
