Horrid writing style, awful plot lines, a lot of “back then/ current/all character POV, infantile dialogue. It’s crap!!
If you can’t say something nice, say something clever but devastating.

Reading now and really loving it. Great story telling, well fleshed out, beautify written. 3/4 through it as of now.

I'm glad you're enjoying it! Her others are worthwhile as well, but not quite on the same level.

It can't be all current fiction. Do you know of any contemporary novels you like?
