![]() ![]() The hero and heroine don’t meet or even speak until nearly the halfway point. But I think I need to communicate the things that someone might not like about the book, so here goes.ġ. Here are the things you need to know about this book – and please imagine me saying, “I liked this, really.” I’ve rewritten this a few times because it sounded too negative and jeez, I really did like it. There was some romance but mostly exploration of the people in the town, sort of a blend of what would be called “Women’s fiction” (urgh) with a sidecar of romance. There were people with problems and people who were problems but I liked reading and visiting with all these people. This was comfort reading for me: no one was going to sneak up with a giant stuffed ostrich of angst and beat me over the head with it until I was weepy and covered with feathers. I could explain the flaws for about an hour and fifty minutes, but I’d still end every sentence with – “…but I liked it.” None of the flaws were OH HELL NO jerk-me-out-of-the-story problems, and while I bet they’d drive some readers bonkers, I was happy to accept they were there and move on. ![]() ![]() You know how you can really like a book and enjoy it a LOT despite seeing all of the flaws? That’s how I am with this book. ![]()
