Beaglemania by Linda O. Johnston

1.0

Did NOT like this protagonist. She (Lauren) admits that she is a micro-manager. I honestly feel as the reader I am being micro-managed & preached at. Lauren is deeply cynical and paranoid, which makes this reading tiring. The internal struggles she has would be fine if they were explained once and the reader was allowed to move on, but it doesn't happen this way. They are constantly rehashed and brought up some other way.
Some things just seem out of sorts as where like the editor said things needed to be added, so they were added but didn't seem necessary. Lots of dumb sentences, i.e. "Si is busted!"or telling us once again the girl behind the counter would be starting vet tech school shortly.
The story line itself it good, but the writing is not enjoyable and I do not plan on reading more of this series which is sad because I was excited to read about a pet rescue center.
Lastly, the name of the book is Beaglemania...I would expect MORE beagles besides the ones that were rescued from the puppy mill & the ONE female that was brought to HotRescues. I DID NOT like the usage of pit bulls in the story, as they felt more like harboring people's fear as it showed when Nina called them "nasty".
