Title: A frightful mess
Review: I have never read Fern Daniels before, but since I got this book as a gift I felt I owed it to the giver to read it. Words are far too cheap to describe how badly I detested this book. If I could give it zero stars instead of one, I would.What struck me right out of the gate was how elementary the dialogue was and how one-dimensional the characters were. Their emotions turned on a dime, and they did complete life-changes from one chapter to the next. The dueling plotlines - from the main character's speedy weight loss and perfunctory slips to what to do with a winning lottery ticket - rang false and made-up to me.There were also too many distracting subplots to even care about, and the gratuitous mysticism was ludicrous.In the future, I will not feel any kind of obligation to waste my time reading another Fern Daniels book.
