Summary of this Book... | ||
This story was about a young woman, Thea, studying for her PH.D, that takes a temporary job as nanny to 10 year old twin girls. They lost their mother to cancer 6 months prior and their father is a long distance trucker. Unfortunately, the father is a lowlife that leaves them with no way to contact him or money. They are evicted from their residence and the only other living family the girls have is their Uncle Logan. Thea takes them to their Wild-land Firefighter uncle who is out long periods fighting fires and possibly not up to the job of taking care of his nieces. | ||
I especially liked... | ||
The author was able to weave a plot that held it's course. It was well organized and got from point A to point B. | ||
I didn't like... | ||
Unfortunately, for me, these characters never came to life. I understand the author was establishing the insecurities of both main characters but the constant flip-flopping between strong, weak, passive, aggressive in short periods of time was too much to believe. There was no flow to the growth that should have happened. It was all very choppy that left me, as a reader, unbelieving and not able to find any way to anchor myself into the story. There wasn't a single character that was whole. Every one stayed stiff, cardboard, and one-dimensional. Such a shame because the author can tell a story. This one was too convoluted and felt as if the outline was driving the story instead of the characters. It didn't have a natural feel to the progression of events and the characters turning from insecure to being strong from one paragraph to the next didn't help. Oh - and they fell in love? I didn't see anywhere that could have happened. | ||
The n/a of this Book... | ||
I have read another of this author's books and it was a pleasant read. This one might have been a miss but I will venture to read more from this author. | ||
Further Comments... | ||
I believe the author has a style and ease to her writing although I didn't enjoy this particular book. I think the author left the characters behind and stuck too fully with the plot she outlined to the determent of how the characters should have behaved. | ||
