Come visit the French Coast!



Visit the French Coast with Anita Hughes in her latest release.  Thank you to St. Martins Press and Anita Hughes for a copy of this novel.  I have had the opportunity to read Anita’s previous novels.  I think this is one you might be her best!

Synopsis: 

Serena’s life could not be better with a great fiancé, a great job, and wonderful family.  Her boss Chelsea gives her the opportunity of a lifetime to go to Cannes and interview the head of French Vogue and write her memoir.  All of the sudden news comes out that her father has a second family in France. Will she be able to complete her job in Cannes?  How will her fiancé react?  Serena finds herself at her hotel staying with a new friend Zoe Gladding after the hotel messed up her reservation.  Who happens to be the daughter of Malcolm Gladding the designer.   What happens when Serena meets the mysterious Nick?  How will this impact Serena and her future?

My Thoughts: 

I loved this novel!  I have had the privilege of reading Anita’s previous novels.  I have to say the French Coast is the  best so far.   I found the story very entertaining!  The plot asks a great question. The conflict between that each family goes through has a similar theme.    What do you do when you find out a secret about a loved one?  What lengths are you willing to go to protect yourself and others? 

Characters are extremely well developed and well written.  Fashion plays a big role in this novel.  The setting is the city of Cannes in France and San Francisco California.  The story is well written.   While I very much enjoyed the novel it was a little too imitate for me.    

Go out and get your copy today!

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...
