Review title: poor writing style, shallow plot, simplistic characters
Product review: Many years ago as a young teenager, I picked up the author's "A Woman of Substance" and could not put it down. That was the first novel that ever gripped me. Now after reading "Where You Belong" I don't know whether the author has regressed dramatically or my taste at 14 left much to be desired. "Where You Belong" is written in annoyingly childish sentences. The characters are ridiculously one-dimensional - her mother was a rip-off of Cinderella's step-mom - and there is no attempt at setting the stage so that readers could draw their own conclusions. The fact that the book is written in the first person does not help - The heroine/narrator spends most of the novel either describing her heroic efforts or stating that her family hated her. There really was no plot to the book. The heroine never grew or developed inn any way over the course of the novel. In short - I want my money back on this one!
