Review: Tried to fit too much story into too few pages

I don't know why I continue to try and read novellas. It is rare that I find one that is actually good. The authors always seem to try and fit a full length story into not very many pages which just does not work. If anyone has any novellas suggestions where this is not the case, where it is a good story and does not try and do too much, please let me know.Wanting was alright for a novella, but still not good. It didn't have much of a storyline and everything just moved so quickly. When you are not writing very many pages you have to just disregard believability and keep everything moving at lightning speed. That and when you want to have a few sex scenes, but you still want to keep it short so you just breeze right through them also. The whole point of the book was Laurie teaching Jonah about sex, but the sex just felt like it was glazed over or pushed along too quickly. Really I think had the sex scenes been more developed, or the storyline, I would have enjoyed it more. As it was it felt like everything was just glazed over and moved along so we could get to the end that much quicker.This review was originally posted to Jen in Bookland
