Check Out Angela's Escapades in I Heart New York by Lindsey Kelk



The destination chose New York City by way of London England.  Is what I Heart New York is all about.

Synopsis:



Angela is attending her best friend Louisa’s wedding in London England,  when she discovers something in her car.  All she wants is to change her shoes from these dreadful louboutins that she had to wear for the ceremony.  Mark her boyfriend surprises her with his cheating partner.  Angela’s world collapses as she realizes that her world has changed forever.  Her answer leave go to New York City in the United States.  Angela arrives with little more than the louboutins and her bridesmaid dress.  Enter Jenny her new best friend who helps Angela heal from her heartache and take a different path.  Angela is confronted by many changes but what will she choose?

My Thoughts:

I have heard a lot about this series and the initial book of the series I Heart New York.  I am always game for trying new authors.  I loved how the writing seemed to flow.  I could have taken a little less of the sex issues between certain characters.  I liked Angela as a character and thought her cohort Jenny was great as well.  The author does a great job describing Angela’s dilemma and her indecisiveness.  I just didn’t find myself loving the book as much as I thought.

A popular plot in the chick lit genre is woman dumped by boyfriend and trying to start over.  I have actually loved a lot of these plots because it is exciting to see what the main character will choose to do.  For instance in I Heart New York, Angela’s growth in character after her decision to leave London.    I wish I had a credit card limit like hers.   What would you try if you had the chance to start over?

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...
