Looking at the cover and hearing about the blurb it sounded like it was going to be a fairly light hearted read, so wasn't expecting those darker undertones there.

Hence I’ve avoided her books ever since. She has written tons of stuff and seems to be very popular so maybe I picked the wrong one. I have thought about trying something else of hers. I will be sure to avoid this one though. :-)Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962552429792516213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-23440260970001672062016-11-09T11:29:49.039+00:002016-11-09T11:29:49.039+00:00yes that's something I wouldn't expect eit...yes that's something I wouldn't expect either. not sure it's for meMellianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16406103812986322082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-10105419513660353462016-11-09T03:06:39.248+00:002016-11-09T03:06:39.248+00:00Hmm, was shocked to see the darker aspects of this...Hmm, was shocked to see the darker aspects of this.

Sadly, even this storyline doesn't appeal and I certainly wouldn't put myself through the pain of reading something I didn't think I might stand a chance of enjoying, just for the sake of a challenge!<br /><br />Honest as ever and I am so pleased that you are :)<br /><br />YvonneYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-76693293451728721182016-11-08T20:03:01.154+00:002016-11-08T20:03:01.154+00:00I'm sorry to hear this didn't work for you...I'm sorry to hear this didn't work for you!

A couple of mine were harder reading, but overall I enjoyed them all. <br /><br />I'm already getting excited thinking about challenges for next year.
