Mind Numbingly Mundane! My NEW GO TO WRITER...TAYLOR JENKINS REID!!!
I mean it this time, my last DBF purchase. I said this before but I was tempted by the title and the cover and bought the book. Before I could continue with my review I had to choose between predictable, some twists or full of surprises...I wish it had offered mind numbing and mundane. This book is HORRIBLE. The characters are boring and one-dimensional, the dialog extremely uninteresting, there are editing errors, just overall disappointing...AND who needs to know what the woman cooks for each meal?!!! I made it to page 83 and have discarded the book, no it's not even a give away, I would not do this to anyone I like! What has happened to Ms. Benton-Frank? The Ms. Benton-Frank that wrote Pawley's Island, Shem Creek...the Last Original Wife. I can't imagine giving this book 5 stars even if I had received it for free! I paid in full for it but I promise anyone reading this review, this is my last purchase of Ms. Benton-Frank's books.
