Choices High-Heels or Slippers?



I won this eBook a while back from Chick Lit Central. High-Heels and Slippers offers a choice of how to move on from the past.

Synopsis:

Meet Josie Jenkins she is a customer service manager at Harper and Green (Catalogue Retailer).   Did I also mention that she is a brit living in Texas and she happened to have an affair with her boss Bob?  They have recently ended it for the last time and Josie is feeling a little on the lonely side.  One evening she gets a friend request on Facebook from an old friend.  Should she accept the request?  Then there is this new guy Callum who is from Britain as well.  Josie feels that they were meant for each other?  Are they really?  Will the past come back to haunt them?

My Thoughts:

I don’t know that I am a total fan of this one.   The story is supposed to be funny and entertaining.  I don’t know that it did either for me.   I had a hard time staying focused as I read.  On the other side the story is well written and the characters are believable.  
I also learned a little about the access to different items that are British.  I should not be surprised that the BBC can be accessed by the web or that different stations would talk of news locally in Britain.

One point of the story is the choice to move on from one’s past.  How would you handle it?   Would you stay stuck in the past?

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...
