Title: A sad story
Review: I just recently finished reading Gap Creek, and though it was an easy read, I never actually liked the story. I could easily tell that it was a man writing Julie's feeling and thoughts. I never found her to be real. Her senses, especially smell, were well described. When it came to descriptions of her feeling I feel they were superfical and minimal. Falling in love is something girls, especially 17 year old girls, spend all day thinking about, but Julie's feelings were never really shared with us. Her life was difficult and she is a hard worker - that is brought out over and over again - though we all knew that from the first page. I wish Morgan spend more time inside her head and her feelings and less time saying the same things over again. At the end of the story I still did not really like Julie or Hank or their marriage. I will not be reading any more of Morgan's books.
