Negative Positive
Title: Underdeveloped and contrived
Review: I was so looking forward to another book by SUe Monk Kidd, just loved the Secret Life of Bees. But this is totally unbelievable. A soap opera heroine would not fall "in love" so swiftly and without reason. Lust is OK, but don't expect the reader to buy into such underdeveloped passion. There is absolutely no longing FOR these characters either and the journey to the truth that is pursued by the daughter thru the mother is not believable.
Is the review positive or negative?
