Review: Good idea poorly developed
Rating: 2 out of 5

Rebecca Moiso  seems to be trying to channel Christy. She missed. The one good thing about this effort is the time period. Regency is done too much and there are scads of contemporary works but very little of the Roaring 20's. Otherwise, she failed to deliver believable situations, characters, or relationships. Instead of building plot, tension, or characters; she just told us what she wanted us to know or feel. Good stories don't work that way. The characters were very busy scowling, raising eye brows, arguing for no apparent reason. The second half of the book managed to make things clear but not by much. Who was Todd? Why did young adults at a house party treat each other so badly but not know each other? So many things just stuck in with no flow. I gave it 2 stars because it is a first effort. Not recommended.
