A review by quillnqueer
A Novel Love Story by Ashley Poston
hopeful
lighthearted
fast-paced
If you know me well, seeing this book on my shelves must come as a bit of a shock, because I (almost) never read adult romance. However, I love Schmigadoon. And this story of a woman who finds herself in the romantic town of Eloraton, the setting of her favourite romance series, sounded like such a cute idea.
I found the main character of this story very, very confusing. She never seemed to actively look for clues about if the town was real, or if she'd crashed her car and was suffering from a head injury. She never seemed to question if the man she was falling in love with was a real person. And at the end, she never seemed to experience any emotion about the decision she made.
I found the cast of characters interesting, but lacking much depth, and it would have been nice for the story to choose the path of, you may see them as characters, but here's what's under the surface. The romance felt way too easy and while the ending was pretty solid, I was left wondering what Anders plans for the future were.
