Title: DREADFUL WASTE OF TIME
Review: Once upon a time, women devoured Danielle Steele type novels for summer or beachy reads. Now in the era of chick lit, you see a million sex and the city like Bridget Jones knockoffs, like Girl Anatomy, but this is awful. I was flabberghasted by the few positive reviews. The writing is terrible. the main character dull and self absorbed. I especially take issue with Miss Bloom's dialogue which is horribly written. SO MUCH telling and not showing. And just not distinct voice. HOW DID THIS GET PUBLISHED?Incidentally, I was gifted this by a friend for my birthday and when she read it afterwards, she apologized. I agree with other posters in that you kind of hang out to see if the it'll ever redeem itself, you think it has to, but it never does. yes, the ING thing was very convoluted and made for a confusing, messy read too.
Is the review positive or negative?
