Review With just one click.... by Amanda Strong


Amanda Strong shares her book with us courtesy of the Chicklitplus blog tour.   This is her second tour for her book With just one click...   Thank you for the opportunity to read this book and share it her on Writer’s Corner!

Synopsis:
 
Chloe, Morgan, and Brynn discover the wonderful world of facebook and the advantages and disadvantages to this new world.   Chloe is a New York movie reviewer who involves herself in facebook at the suggestion of her friends.   She then runs across someone she thought she would never see again.   Then there is Morgan who also gets involved with facebook because of her friends insistence.   She thinks this facebook world is awesome! The only problem is her husband friends ex from high school. EJ cannot understand why Morgan is jealous of this ex.   Will husband and wife make amends?    Brynn has been married and has the perfect life with the husband and two kids.   She has been extremely unhappy and even seeing a therapist.  She stumbles into facebook and finds someone from her past to help her with her unhappiness.  What choices will she choose for her family?  What consequences will be the result?

My Thoughts:
I liked the book.   I found the subject of facebook for a book very interesting.   I thought that the influence of facebook on our daily lives was interesting to me especially with how it was written.    The author would share examples of characters such as Morgan sharing about her kids.  The husband is waiting to start the car and she is posting photos on facebook and updating her status.   I never really thought of how much facebook might influence me.   I thought the characters are very unique in drawing out their circumstances and how facebook played a part.   I felt this book was a strong debut for Amanda Strong.  I hope you will check it out.

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa fro...

The Importance of Complex Characters By Jacqueline Friedland

Photo by Rebecca Weiss A couple of years ago, there was a debate in the literary world about “likeable” characters.   The question, essentially, boiled down to this: must a character be unpleasant, whether angry or aggressive, selfish, or all gloom-and-doom in order to be taken seriously as a literary character?   When the debate arose, the focus was primarily on female characters— if a female protagonist has too many redeemable qualities as a person, does this detract from her substance as a character in a story?   This query nagged at me and took on a new shape during my writing Trouble the Water , as I watched my two main protagonists undergo journeys of personal growth that left them both decidedly more pleasant than the people they were when the story began.   The question I needed to answer was whether depth and meaning are negated by personal recoveries? My own take, as a reader, is that if I am going to spend hours reading a novel, hanging out with cha...
