Negative Positive
Title: good premise, but.....
Review: I found the premise of this book to be fascinating and full of potential. Unfortunately, it features a disappointing and somewhat cliched plot development with an overly cutsie writing style.I could not develop a connection to or emapthy for any of the characters, could not figure out where the story was going as it dragged on for 200 plus pages, and found the ending to be a dis-jointed segment unto itself. The book reads like a screen play for a sappy made-for-TV movie. I read it for my book club, and found myself surrounded by a room full of "amazing", "5 stars", "deep, creative". All I could think was...."I guess that's whay they call it chick lit". I had high hopes for this novel; what followed was a dumbed-down fleshing out of its premise.
Is the review positive or negative?
