Negative Positive
Title: 2 stars at best
Review: If I could give this book 1 1/2 stars, I would - unfortunately the system's not set up to give half-stars. I found this southern chick lit style book to be the least-believeable of all the chick lit books I've read that are set in the south.The intimate scenes were unnecessary as far as plot or character development goes, and the friendships on the whole were fairly two-dimensional.The main scenario with the daughter being afraid to 'be smart' in front of her mother and share her inventions was highly unbelievable. And the reason for the mom being afraid of her daughter being a smart girl and woman was frankly stupid coming from a clever, manipulative woman that she was, especially after said daughter was now an ADULT and not a vulnerable child.The twist at the end was beyond ludicrous, and that is putting it mildly.The only thing that kept me going was my innate urge to finish what I start - not always a useful trait, in this situation.
Is the review positive or negative?
