16 Lighthouse Road by Debbie Macomber
3.0
This is an ok book. It's not bad by any means but, it's not GREAT, either. One of my biggest pet peeves in books is when authors don't use realistic dialogue. It drives me crazy. For example: "Mother, why didn't you call me"? or "I just want to enjoy this sunset. Oh Mark, isn't it beautiful"?
Who talks like that? Nobody I know, that's for sure.
I'm also a little disconcerted about the underlying theme of "divorce" in this first novel in the series, as well as just about ALL of the female characters being unable to make a single emotional decision on their own.
Regardless, it was a nice afternoon read. As I was given (almost) the entire series in paperback, I plan to read them all. I'm hoping that most of the characters become more human as we go on.
