Review: Could have been much better
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 10 10, 2011
The premise for the story was good, the characters were likeable and the basic rules of fiction were followed. For that, it gets two stars. For the overall skill and quality of the writing, and for the short length and the left-me-hanging ending, it gets none.This story is a good, fast read if you are just looking for something to fill some time in a waiting room, but it's far from a 5-star work. The author could have expanded her descriptions to give us more detailed imagery. Instead, she writes too succinctly in places where she should be painting a picture, and spoils some of the tension and romantic scenes as a result. The work also came off as a little juvenile (meaning both the characters and the author's skill). It's not horrible, but the story doesn't feel anything like the cover looks.
