Title: Cliches, cheesy, hated it
Product review: I suppose a lot of reviewers loved the book, but personally I hated it. Maybe I was expecting too much, but I felt the plot was flimsy, there were far too many silly details and very little in terms of character depth. As a Southerner far from home, I love reading books about the South. I'm actually from Beaufort, only an hour away from Savannah. However, I really don't feel the author portrayed the South in an accurate light (a 30 year old heroine who wears a yellow linen short set after 1985 is embarrassing). Also there was a silly plug for "shag" music and the romance scenes were ridiculous. I feel these examples show the author should have stuck with characters in her own age range. I guess as a beach read it's OK, but I would personally rather put my time to better use.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
