Title: Poorly written, unappealing characters
Product review: I love chick-lit, but I don't love badly written chick lit, and both this and Highland Fling, another Katie Fford offering, are badly written. Characters are poorly sketched out, the storylines are weak, the narrative is choppy and sometimes just plain doesn't make sense. I got the Kindle version and I don't know if the same typos appear in the print version, but when the lead character's name is misspelled ("Aithea" instead of Althea) -- as is the name of her daughter, Merry, who becomes "Marry" in the first word of a chapter -- you have to wonder if they'll publish any old rot these days.Don't waste money on this -- I highly recommend Jill Mansell if you're looking for top-notch, excellent chick-lit.
