Title: Puerile
Product review: I am a great respecter and lover of books, but this thing was so bad that I literally threw it into a garbage can when I was done reading it. While the lead character has the potential to be likeable and interesting, McMillan subverts Stella's intelligence by making her a sucker for a pretty young male face (et al), and the simplistic belief that "love will conquer all." The story itself is so pathetic that I found it difficult to believe that it was written by a grown woman who is old enough to know better. Worse, it propagates the myth that a woman can't be truly happy, successful, creative or fulfilled without a man in her life. As such, STELLA would have worked a lot better as an animated movie where the heroine sings a lot and the love interest comes equipped with a horse and a castle. It's just that realistic.
