Review: Not terrible

This was the first book I've read by this author, and I can't say I'm inclined to hunt down others. I found the writing (especially in the first half of the book), to be slightly stilted and juvenile, almost as if written for a middle or high school creative writing class (although no kid in a creative writing class EVER writes a "happily ever after"). But there was enough of interest to keep me reading until the end, and it wasn't a complete waste of time. Inevitably one tries to imagine oneself in such a position, and it's hard to know how one would act or feel. Overall the author did a fairly good job of telling a convincing, sympathetic story.
