and kept on going.  First, to make it funny (I assume) the author kept throwing in modern phrases for the heroine and her friend. Sorry, that one fell flat. It is a huge let down when there has obviously been no research done on the era the book is about.  Then there were all the coincidences-waaaay too many of them.  The only way the story seemed to move forward was when something coincidentally happened. Then, (spoiler alert) it turned into a paranormal about three quarters of the way through with spirits and mind control.  I got the feeling the author had imbibed some alcoholic spirits, so she decided to through a few ghostly spirits into the mix.  It came away as a mixed-up, hodge-podge.  I'm still not sure I understand what happened in this convoluted tale.  The only thing that seemed semi-true was that the heroine was 18, and acted like most 18 year olds I have known.  She couldn't make up her mind and was pretty immature to boot. Read at your own risk.
