It isn't often I, Ladybug Lin, read a book that leaves me TICKED OFF, but NATASHA'S DREAM by Heather Greenis has managed to do JUST THAT!Okay, calm down your Ladybugship...flutter your wings a bit...that's better...now explain. It's NOT because it's terrible, or weak and pure drivel. It's so freaking good I want MORE!I HATE where it ended...much the way I hate where Margaret Mitchell ended GONE WITH THE WIND! I mean seriously...we went all the way through the many trials of Scarlet O'Hara's whining and whippersnappering her way through being a pampered miss and then she finally figures out Ashley's a sniveling lapdog hardly worth wiping the horse stuff from Rhett's spit and polish, only to get home and have Rhett coldly leave and her sigh and say she'll fix things  TOMORROW?Heather Greenis has given us pretty much the same kind of...we'll solve this tomorrow, kind of ending here...and all I got to say is there'd BETTER be a tomorrow!I have my suspicions about the reasons she left the current players in the unveiling of NATASHA'S DREAM dangling where they are. Ms. Greenis cunningly does not reveal the whys and wherefores of Keeghan's part in Natasha's story, today, NOR  does she explain who or what Alexander, the pseudo "narrator" of NATASHA'S DREAM is in the overall scheme of things...irritating but also effectively shrewd. She made sure we'll be back,We get a form of a literary BRIDGE between what had BETTER be books one and two.This IS a "keeper-book" and an "I-want-more-book."Heather Greenis has sculpted from the crafters clay of words and grammar marks a brilliant construct that has me actively loathing Natasha's father, disdaining her foolhardy mother, and aching for Stewart, Hope, Nanny, Willard, and all those Natasha has easily enchanted, myself included with her simple capacity to be a source of love and caring.NATASHA'S DREAM earns FIVE EMOTION PACKED STARS, Ms. Greenis I give to you, but wish I could give you more. Now, open up your Word Processor and get back to book two...your fans await you!
