Psychos: Part 2



Psychos:  A White Girls Problem by  Babe Walker shares her second novel in the series today. 

Synopsis:

This sequel to  2012’s White Girl Problems, picks up four months after the previous novel.  Babe has just returned from rehab for a shopping addiction.  She is now trying to find inner peace and love in only the way that Babe Walker can.   In order to “find” herself (and avoid that annoying stalker who leaves her mark in black lipstick), Babe goes to Europe.   She meets and catches up with her Lesbian mother in France, travels by private plane with a handsome man to Greece, and gets stuck in Switzerland.  After all that could true love and friendship have been waiting for her right around the corner?

My Thoughts: 

I enjoyed this book more than the first one.  For those of you who have never read Babe Walker,   she is not for everyone.  She is for those people who are a little snarky, judgy, and who sometimes have word vomit (so, maybe it is for everyone).   Babe is still Babe.  She isn’t the greatest friend or girlfriend but she keeps it real.  Except , her version of “real” is traveling with 9 bags of luggage, jumping on private planes, avoiding a stalker.   This book is a great escape to see how the richer (and slightly crazy) live.  A quick read with lots of laughs.

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...
