Negative Positive
Title: A quick, fun read
Review: I learned of "Love in the Time of Taffeta" through a book review in BUST magazine and decided to check it out from the public library. I finished the book in one night. I've since read Eugenie Olson's other two books and out of the three, this is the best of the bunch.Iley is imperfect and continually makes mistakes before slowly wising up. With Olson's other two books, they both had that "Oh! And it was all right there in front of me and I'm just noticing it!" conveniently about 30 pages before the end of the book. Fortunately, "Taffeta" has less of that. The ending isn't a perfectly-tied bow. It seemed more realistic in how the character has to redeem herself to those she hurt during her careless fling.There are points in the book where you'll go, "How could she be so stupid?!?" But realistically, isn't that part of life? Making mistakes that others may see as avoidable, but we need to go through those errors (and hopefully learn from them) to become a better person.
Is the review positive or negative?
