![]() ![]() I've never had many problems with third person point of view, however Deborah McClatchey didn't do a good job at it at all. As well as the third person style it was done in it lacked the depth and emotion a book should have, like if it were done in first person. How am I supposed to connect with that? The over-top telling was so annoying. I was just told what had happened on their date. This paragraph is just an example from Shanna and Alex's "date." As a reader, I didn't even get to experience the fucking date with them. She was actually hungry, even after consuming the fast-food burger they'd grabbed before the movie." They ordered a couple of plates of appetizers to eat during the entertainment. "After the movie, he took her to a comedy club, catching the late show. ![]() Shanna was already thinking of marrying Alex only about 6-7% into the book, when they had close to no interaction with each other. ![]() It was fast paced and held no descriptive or emotive detailing. There was so much "telling" and no "showing" in this book. And just to clarify, I added the 1 star to my rating, but in truth I rate it a big fat 0. This book is not even worth 1 star let alone 5. I don't know what all those other people were reading, but clearly not the same crap I was. I'm so pissed I wasted my money on this shit. I am so angry! I paid almost $4 for this because just about every review I read was positive and gushing. ![]()
