When I picked this book up I wanted an old-fashioned romance, but what I got was a thinly guised social issue trying to be pasted off as an issue of morality. This book is achingly sentimental to the point of nausea.
I love the idea of the weekly letter and the truth of what that could really reveal. However about half way through the novel things get weird. I am not going to expose the big secret/mystery accept to say I found it insulting. I have no doubt this kind of situation happened/happens – what I object to is the preachy, religious tone that suddenly appears.
If you wanted to write a political ad, write it. Don’t waste my time with tricks and gotchas.
