Review: It's a shame...

It's a shame so many writers fill the need to make their main characters "beautiful" and without flaws.  I feel like screaming when I scan the beginning of a book and immediately see how beautiful and desirable the main character is, before I even get to know their personality.  Beauty is such a individual preference and it's unfair to assume it isn't.  Deborah Camp is a good writer.  Her women are very strong and smart, but her stories are often ruined for me by her physically perfect characters.  Nobody is perfect to everyone, instead we can all be perfect to someone.  I wished writers believed in their writing and their fans enough to realize that not only do we want more from them, but we need more.  Writers like Jodi Thomas, Lavyrle Shirley, Alexis Harrington,and Holly Bush have managed to give us some stories that make us believe we all can be great at some moment in our lives.  I think Ms. Camp could to, but she hasn't for me yet.  I rate the book three stars because I love the strength of the characters, I just wish for more.  Maybe I want too much....
