Review: Meh.  Boring, and a little too formulaic as well

I admit that I uploaded the book because of the 1 star rating by Emily.  Seriously, how you could resist reading a book with a review like that? :)Anyway, I won't go so far as Emily in her review, but I can't understand all of the 5 star reviews and wondered, often, as I was skimming through A French Girl in New York, if we were reading the same book at all.The story was very Cinderella-ish, of course, that's no surprise.  But the characters were more like caricatures of people than real people.  A good editor might have made some suggestions to tone down the caricature-ization of the characters and that would have been a good suggestion for the author.As it is, I finished it.  Unlike reviewer Emily, I don't want to die now that I've read it, but I certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone, and I certainly don't want to read any sequels to Maude's story.
