I've never had many problems with third person point of view, however Deborah McClatchey didn't do a good job at it at all. As well as the third person style it was done in it lacked the depth and emotion a book should have, like if it were done in first person. How am I supposed to connect with that? The over-top telling was so annoying. I was just told what had happened on their date. This paragraph is just an example from Shanna and Alex's "date." As a reader, I didn't even get to experience the fucking date with them. She was actually hungry, even after consuming the fast-food burger they'd grabbed before the movie." They ordered a couple of plates of appetizers to eat during the entertainment. "After the movie, he took her to a comedy club, catching the late show. Shanna was already thinking of marrying Alex only about 6-7% into the book, when they had close to no interaction with each other.
It was fast paced and held no descriptive or emotive detailing. There was so much "telling" and no "showing" in this book. And just to clarify, I added the 1 star to my rating, but in truth I rate it a big fat 0. This book is not even worth 1 star let alone 5. I don't know what all those other people were reading, but clearly not the same crap I was.
I'm so pissed I wasted my money on this shit. A kidnapping crisis involving Amy's son, Tad, brings out the true feelings between them.I am so angry! I paid almost $4 for this because just about every review I read was positive and gushing. However, they become exceptionally close friends. Jackson is fighting his own set of demons with an unbalanced wife.īeing a southern gentleman, Jackson feels he cannot declare his love for her until his divorce is final. The sparks fly between Jackson and Amy, but they keep their feelings concealed. Jackson Sinclair is strikingly handsome and well dressed. A new boss eventually arrives on the scene. The old mansion is filled with the elderly and mental patients. The job is quite a new experience for a naive young woman coming from such a sheltered life. She finds herself employed at Green Gables, the local 'nuthouse', as it is jokingly called in their small North Carolina community. Now widowed, how is she supposed to raise her young son on her own? The first thing to do is find a job. Young Amy was shattered by the terrible tragedy that changed her life forever.
