![]() ![]() One Goodreads reviewer commented that it seemed like Anne had been declawed, and that is true. Bad, Longshore, bad.Īnne was another big problem. The fix never happened, so now I have to talk about it. I noticed it in Gilt, but dismissed it as an easy fix. I also noticed a big problem with Longshore's dialogue, and that is that she'll have some really authentic-sounding dialogue, and it really fits in well with the time period and then all of sudden modern words and phrases will jarringly appear. The overused sheep metaphor was used a lot, as well as the whole idea of being trapped and the amount of times the word tarnish (or a form of the word) appeared made me want to take a shot every time it showed up. I can tell that Longshore has a problem with repetition. ![]() But I am seeing some writing issues that I can't write off as rookie mistakes any more. ![]() Frankly this book could have been cut down at least 100 pages and still would have made a cohesive narrative. This book was not the quick read Gilt was for me. I ended up having to finish it at 10 o'clock at night because I didn't want to carry reading it into Monday. But I didn't want to start my Valentine's Day book until it was closer to actual Valentine's Day so I pulled this book off my TBR stack and figured it would be a quick read. I wasn't expecting to read this book next. ![]()
