Review: Not the Worst, But by Far Not the Best

Calista (my mind immediately went to Ally McBeal and Calista Flockhart- typical American, I guess- chock full of pop culture) seems to be like the author: witty, sharp one moment and full of drivel the next. One can almost see the lines of demarcation where the author ran out of ideas and kept writing. The entire plot was so thin: it hinged on Calista not seeing the forest for the trees. But, come on, her character is too bright and kind to be that dull and insecure!Also, what the heck is up with saying "making love" to mean flirting/giving romantic attention...and not sex? This is new.  E.g. in Blanche's bragging to Evelyn and Calista that she would use the Colonel by making love to him in their outings about Town, so all the gentlemen would be jealous.  *WTHeck?!*Bt-dubs, while restaraunts WERE around then, they were usually attached to pubs/hostels/inns/clubs. The idea didn't take off as readily then,hence the skepticism, and as a consequence, I'm not 100 percent sure they where called restaraunts- maybe eateries or dining halls. *shrug*Atrocious editing-- cringe-worthy spacing, spelling, capitalization, word choice errors. Invest in an editor, please. I'm so tired of reading these sloppy high school-level ebooks.
