Title: NOT a Light Breezy Read
Review: Judging a book by it's cover, I thought this book would be a light breezy read similar to the novels of Rachel Gibson, Elizabeth Beverley and such. Instead I found myself with a book about a mother's long ago death and the struggles a young woman faces dealing with raising her younger siblings. Nina dreams of the day she can leave her responsiblities behind but her best friend (whose fiancee ran off to become a nun 15 years ago)asks Nina to make him a daddy before she goes.This book is packed with tragedy amd not many laughs. The tragedy drags on and on as Nina wrestles with the idea of being a mother herself. NOT a fun read. I barely made it to the end. The last few chapters of the book seem very rushed and not very fleshed out, a major revelation seems to be thrown in at the last minute without a lot of background.This book just really seemed to drag. I think the publisher should have chosen a different cover for such heavy reading material.
Is the review positive or negative?
