I'm wondering if this was a debut.
*checks* Yup. Why am I not surprised?
Honestly, I cut debutant authors some slack, because even as a reader, and avid journal writer, I know that it takes time to get comfortable with your writing. And that's why most authors first few books are disappointing, to say the least.
However, I wasn't expecting much from this book. How can it still disappoint me? Hmm. Maybe I deceived myself.
The things that annoyed me about this book (Yup, you can check, it's on my 'Abandoned' shelf- I read more than half of it then skipped to the end)
Forgot-her-name's husband has been arrested for murder, yet all she can talk about is the colour of her clothes and her nail polish. There is tooo much nail dropping, and I can understand that the author's background makes it impossible to avoid- but seriously? Which person would consider if she should stop at Neiman Marcus to buy a lace camisole to look sexy while interviewing a pervert suspect?
Well, even with her 'professional' silk pantsuit, she ends up with a dog collar around her neck
Man, the depths that this lady provoked me to. And her daughter is a brat. Honestly. If my kid was telling me 'I hate you' when her father had been arrested, I would certainly do something other than blame myself for it. I mean, how does that even make sense?
We seriously need books where heroines are NOT the only ones expected to be a fucking doormat. Nurturers or not.
The family in this book reminded me of a very artificial family, where everything is perfect on the outside, but all kinds of fucked up inside. Coming from a loving family, it irritated me to see *forgot-her-name* commenting that her kissing her son goodnight on the forehead didn't embarrass him. Seriously?
Woah. Writing and characters could do with a LOT of improvement. Still, debut book gets a pass. Her next one better be jolly better than this, is all I'm saying. Or else?
'Abandoned'. Without a qualm.
