Review: Another Mommy Dearest
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 05 4, 2013
This story captivated me from the first page and immediately pulled me in (along with the cover). The storyline was good and I thought it was a decent read but a few key elements were missing which is why I rated it a 3.I felt like a lot of scenarios could have been elaborated on a bit more because after reading certain things I was left in a state of confusion like why and how. More background info could have been given about the mom so we could get a better understanding on why she behaved like that. I'm also trying to figure out the connection with the Title and the story.....where was the diary or shall I say entries? I guess I was expecting a different type of format in the form of Nancy's point of view. And speaking of Nancy, how old was she? That's another detail that was left out and could only be assumed.Just when the story had me on the edge of my seat with anticipation and excitement it ended abruptly with a part 2 coming soon. This was a real short story but I hated the fact that it ended at 88% with the remainder percent of the book filled with advertisements. For a first time author I felt as though she did a good job and I see the potential. It was well written, just a few holes needed to be filled. I wanted this story to really move me and had it been longer I believe it would have done just that. This was only a teaser that budged me....but hard enough for me to want to read part 2. I honestly think this should have been full length novel because it had a lot to offer upfront instead of breaking it down in parts.
