But she sounded like someone who learned to speak English from reading old British novels.

The heroine didn't bother me at all. In fact, I was glad to learn that KA knew words other than babe and fuck (in its various incarnations).<br /><br />The only character that upset me was Gran, and she was dead for the whole damn book but she managed to make her presence felt, dead or not. The last letter at the end was the straw that broke this camel's back; if I wasn't reading on my Fire, I'd have thrown it across the room. Sometimes KA is TOO romantic and descends into farce. Anyway, I wanted to kick Gran in the ass. She was more perfect than the heroine and knew every damn thing and maybe that's why I could accept Josie, because I was too busy hating Gran to even care about Josie's eccentricities. <br /><br />And anyway, you know I love my eccentrics. ;-)Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05151587271439513617noreply@blogger.com
